Difference between research utilization and EBP (pp. 4-5)
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


utilization andEBP?
Qg Qg gQ


a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


the mostgeneralizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study
Qg Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


on a topic. Qg Qg Qg

, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


singleresearch study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


determine best care.
Qg Qg Qg


c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


practice;EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


the healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


in individualsituations.

Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


buildnew evidence.
Qg gQ Qg


b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


by trialand error.
Qg Qg gQ Qg


c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg


nursingresearch studies. gQ Qg
