Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring
1. Evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing primarily integrates which of the following elements?
a. Expert opinion and nursing intuition
b. Research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences
c. Clinical guidelines and physician recommendations
d. Tradition and consensus within the healthcare team
Answer: b
Rationale:
EBP combines the best available research evidence with the clinician’s expertise and patient
preferences/values to achieve optimal care outcomes. It transcends tradition or isolated opinions.
2. A nurse proposes an intervention supported by strong evidence, but the patient refuses it due to
personal beliefs. According to EBP principles, what should the nurse do?
a. Implement the intervention regardless of the patient’s refusal
b. Substitute another intervention without evidence
c. Integrate the patient’s preferences into the plan of care
d. Ask the physician to override the decision
Answer: c
Rationale:
EBP respects patient autonomy. Effective care blends evidence with individual values — evidence does
not override patient preferences.
3. A nurse researcher reports a study’s significance at p < 0.01. What does this indicate?
a. The findings are not statistically significant
b. The probability that the results occurred by chance is less than 1%
c. The intervention was clinically insignificant
d. The sample size was too small to be valid
Answer: b
Rationale:
A p-value < 0.01 means there is less than a 1% likelihood that findings occurred due to random chance
— strong statistical significance supporting the study’s reliability.
4. Which of the following represents the first step in applying evidence-based practice?
a. Search for relevant literature
b. Evaluate the strength of the evidence
c. Formulate a clear and focused clinical question
d. Integrate findings into clinical practice
