In the hospital where Nurse L. provides care, tradition
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
dictates that oral temperatures be included in every set of
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
patient vital signs, regardless of patient diagnosis or acuity.

Thisis most likely an example of which of the following

| |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
phenomena? |/\
A) The prioritization of internal evidence over external evidence

C) The integration of personal expertise into nursing care

recently completed a patient chart review after the

implementation of a pilot program aimed at promoting

early ambulation following surgery. Which of the

3. Nurse R. has observed that reorienting demented patients as

frequently as possible tendsto minimize the patients' level of

agitation in the evening. The nurse has shared this
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
observation with a colleague, who is skeptical, stating that,
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
“It's best to stick to evidence-based practice.” How can
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
Nurse R. best respond?
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
, A) “EBP can include clinicians' personal expertise.”
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
B) “Personal experience is often more sound than formal
|/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
evidence-based practice.”
|/\ |/\
C) “Traditional practice and EBP are usually shown to be the |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\ |/\
same.”

D) “My years of experience can be just as valuable as
