S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
respirations are eupneic and his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would

be:
S1
a. Objective.
b. Reflective.

ANSWER: A S1
Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
auscultating during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
or herself during history taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe

7. The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based practice (EBP). Which statement best
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
reflects EBP?
S1 S1
a. EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
b. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
c. EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the clinici answer experience.
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
d. The patients own preferences are not important with
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
EBP. ANSWER: C
S1 S1 S1
EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
the cliniciANSWER experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
about care and treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
patients, and questioning tradition is important when no compelling and supportive research evidence
S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1
exists.
