b. Research studies that correspond to nationally established priorities for healthcare,
u u u u u u u u u


conducted by experts in their fields.
u u u u u u


c. Use of theory-derived, research-based information in making decisions about
u u u u u u u u

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


4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
u u u u u u u u u u u


EBP?
u


a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most
u u u u u u u u u u u


generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u

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


research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
u u u u u u u u u u u u


incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
u u u u u u u u u u


care. u


c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care practice;
u u u u u u u u u u u


EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
u u u u u u u


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


healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual
u u u u u u u u u u u


situations.
u




Evidence from other disciplines (p. 6)

5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
u u u u u u u u u u u


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


new evidence. u u


b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by trial u u u u u u u u u u


and error. u u


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


research studies.u u


d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
u u u u u u u u u
