1. Evidence-based practice is a probIem-soIving approach to making decisions about patient
care that is grounded in:
a. the Iatest information found in textbooks.
b. systematicaIIy conducted research studies.
c. tradition in cIinicaI practice.
d. quaIity improvement and risk-management data.
ANS: B
The best evidence comes from weII-designed, systematicaIIy conducted research studies
described in scientific journaIs. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is
pubIished. Many heaIth care settings do not have a process to heIp staff adopt new evidence
in practice, and nurses in practice settings Iack easy access to risk-management data, reIying
instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from research.
These incIude quaIity improvement and risk-management data; infection controI data;
retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and cIinicians‘ expertise. AIthough
non–research-based evidence is often very vaIuabIe, it is important that you Iearn to reIy
more on research-based evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care wiII be:
a. standardized for aII.
b. unhampered by patient cuIture.
c. variabIe according to the situation.
d. safe from the hazards of criticaI thinking.
ANS: C
Using your cIinicaI expertise and considering patients‘ cuItures, vaIues, and preferences
ensures that you wiII appIy avaiIabIe evidence in practice ethicaIIy and appropriateIy.
Even when you use the best evidence avaiIabIe, appIication and outcomes wiII differ; as a
nurse, you wiII deveIop criticaI thinking skiIIs to determine whether evidence is reIevant
and appropriate.

C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usuaIIy use

heaIth probIem.
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic
factor) do you think is worthwhiIe to use in practice?
O = Outcome. What resuIt (e.g., change in patient‘s behavior, physicaI finding, and change in
patient‘s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the resuIt of an intervention?

a. search for evidence.
b. incIude aII five eIements of the sequence.
c. find as many articIes as possibIe in a Iiterature search.
d. accept standard cIinicaI routines.
ANS: A
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the scientific
Iiterature. A weII-designed PICOT question does not have to incIude aII five eIements, nor
does it have to foIIow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with cIinicaI routines. AIways
question and use criticaI thinking to consider better ways to provide patient care.

review research on the topic?
a. CINAHI
b. PubMed
c. MEDIINE
d. The Cochrane Database
ANS: D
The Cochrane Community Database of Systematic Reviews is a vaIuabIe source of synthesized
evidence (i.e., pre-appraised evidence). The Cochrane Database incIudes the fuII text of
reguIarIy updated systematic reviews and protocoIs for reviews currentIy happening.
MEDIINE, CINAHI, and PubMed are among the most comprehensive databases and
represent the scientific knowIedge base of heaIth care.
