/ / / / / / / /
4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
EBP? /

/

, EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE FOR NURSES 5th EDITION SCHMIDT TEST BANK
/ / / / / / / / /
/
b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single / / / / / / / / / /
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
/ / / / / / / / / /
care. / /
c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care practice; / / / / / / / / / / /
EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
/ / / / / / / /
d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the healthcare / / / / / / / / / / /
provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual situations.

Evidence from other disciplines (p. 6)
/ / / / / /
5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?

evidence. / /
b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by trial and / / / / / / / / / / /
error. / /
c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-nursing research / / / / / / / / / / /
studies. / /
d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
