,Chapter 01: Using Evidence in Nursing Practice
Perry et al.: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 11th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about
patient care that is grounded in:
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
b. systematically conducted research studies.
c. tradition in clinical practice.
d. quality improvement and risk-management data.
ANSWER: B
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research
studies described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become
outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do not have a
process to help staff adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses in practice
settings lack easy access to risk-management data, relying instead on tradition
or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from research. These
include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection control data;
retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise. Although
non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you
learn to rely more on research-based evidence.

practice. TOP: Evidence-Based Practice KEY: Nursing Process Step: Assessment

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

3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the
usual standard of care is:
a. P.
b. I.
c.

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

question. TOP: PICO KEY: Nursing Process Step:

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

practice. TOP: Evidence-Based Practice KEY: Nursing Process Step: Implementation

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