MULTIPLE |CHOICE

1. When |caring |for |clients |using |evidence-informed |practice, |which |of |the |following |does |the
|nurse |use?
a. Clinical |judgement |based |on |experience
b. Evidence |from |a |clinical |research |study
c. The |best |available |evidence |to |guide |clinical |expertise
d. Evaluation |of |data |showing |that |the |client |outcomes |are |met
CORRECT |ANSWER:
| C

Evidence-informed |nursing |practice |is |a |continuous |interactive |process |involving |the |explicit,
|conscientious, |and |judicious |consideration |of |the |best |available |evidence |to |provide |care. |Four

|primary |elements |are: |(a) |clinical |state, |setting, |and |circumstances; |(b) |client |preferences |and

|actions; |(c) |best |research |evidence; |and |(d) |health |care |resources. |Clinical |judgement |based |on

|the |nurse’s |clinical |experience |is |part |of |EIP, |but |clinical |decision |making |also |should

|incorporate |current |research |and |research-based |guidelines. |Evidence |from |one |clinical

|research |study |does |not |provide |an |adequate |substantiation |for |interventions. |Evaluation |of

|client |outcomes |is |important, |but |interventions |should |be |based |on |research |from

|randomized |control |studies |with |a |large |number |of |subjects.

imary | use | of | the | nursing | process | when
providing |care |to |clients? U|S|N|T O
a. To |explain |nursing |interventions |to |other |health |care |professionals
b. As |a |problem-solving |tool |to |identify |and |treat |clients’ |health |care |needs
c. As |a |scientific-based |process |of |diagnosing |the |client’s |health |care |problems
d. To |establish |nursing |theory |that |incorporates |the |biopsychosocial |nature |of |humans
CORRECT |ANSWER: | B
The |nursing |process |is |an |assertive |problem-solving |approach |to |the |identification |and
|treatment |of |clients’ |problems. |Diagnosis |is |only |one |phase |of |the |nursing |process. |The

primary |use |of |the |nursing |process |is |in |client |care, |not |to |establish |nursing |theory |or |explain
|nursing |interventions |to |other |health |care |professionals.
