u u u u u u u u u u u u u




How is this different from what the doctor does? Which response would be most
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u

u u u u u u u u u u

u u u u u u u u u u u

u u u u u u u u u u u u




responses describe some of the dependent and collaborative functions of the
u u u u u u u u u u u




nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurses role in the health care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




system.

u u u u u u u u u




u consistently met. u

u patient preferences. u




ANS: D u




Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence
u u u u u u u u u u




combined with clinician expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical
u u u u u u u u u u u




experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also incorporate
u u u u u u u u u u u u




current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is
u u u u u u u u u u




important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control
u u u u u u u u u u u




studies with a large number of subjects.
