1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about PATIENT jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
jr carethat is grounded in: jr jr jr
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
jr jr jr jr jr
b. systematically conducted research studies. jr jr jr
c. tradition in clinical practice. jr jr jr
d. quality improvement and risk-management data. jr jr jr jr
ANS: B jr
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
it is published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
from research. These include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise. Although
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
more on research-based evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, PATIENT care will be:
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
a. standardized for all. jr jr
b. unhampered by PATIENT culture. jr jr jr
c. variable according to the situation. jr jr jr jr
d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
jr jr jr jr jr jr
ANS: C jr
Using your clinical expertise and considering PATIENTs‘ cultures, values, and
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
preferences ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
appropriately. Evenwhen you use the best evidence available, application and
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
outcomes will differ; as a nurse,you will develop critical thinking skills to determine
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
whether evidence is relevant and appropriate.

3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the usual standard
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
of care is:

a. P.
b. I.
c.
, c. CHOICE BLANK jr
d. O.
ANS: C jr
C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usually use
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
now in practice?
jr jr jr
P = PATIENT population of interest. Identify your PATIENT by age, gender, ethnicity,
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
disease, orhealth problem.
jr jr jr
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
factor) do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
O = Outcome. What result (e.g., change in PATIENT‘s behavior, physical finding, and change
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
inPATIENT‘s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of an
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
intervention?

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
jr jr jr jr jr jr
a. search for evidence. jr jr
b. include all five elements of the sequence. jr jr jr jr jr jr
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
d. accept standard clinical routines. jr jr jr
ANS: A jr
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
elements, nor does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to provide
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
PATIENTcare.

5. The nurse is not sure that the procedure the PATIENT requires is the best possible
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
for the situation. Utilizing which of the following resources would be the quickest
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
way to reviewresearch on the topic?
jr jr jr jr jr jr
a. CINAHL
b. PubMed
c. MEDLINE
d. The Cochrane Database jr jr
ANS: D jr
The Cochrane Community Database of Systematic Reviews is a valuable source of
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
synthesized evidence (i.e., pre-appraised evidence). The Cochrane Database includes the full
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
text of regularly updated systematic reviews and protocols for reviews currently
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
happening. MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed are among the most comprehensive
jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr jr
databases and represent the scientific knowledge base of health care.
