Multiple Choice Questions
1. The primary goal of evidence-based assessment is to:
,A. Reduce patient interaction
B. Use tradition in clinical decisions
C. Integrate best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences
D. Replace clinical judgment
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Evidence-based assessment combines current research, clinical expertise, and patient values to
provide optimal care. It does not replace judgment but strengthens it.
2. Which source provides the highest level of evidence?
A. Expert opinion
B. Case study
C. Randomized controlled trial
D. Textbook
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) minimize bias and provide strong evidence for clinical decisions.
3. What does the PICO framework stand for?
A. Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome
B. Problem, Idea, Control, Outcome
C. Patient, Idea, Control, Observation
D. Problem, Intervention, Control, Observation
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
PICO helps formulate clinical questions to guide research and evidence gathering.
4. Clinical expertise refers to:
A. Using only textbooks
B. Nurse’s accumulated skills and experience
C. Ignoring research
D. Patient opinions only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Clinical expertise is built from experience, skills, and judgment in practice.
5. Evidence-based practice improves patient outcomes by:
, A. Increasing errors
B. Standardizing outdated care
C. Using proven interventions
D. Ignoring patient preferences
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Using scientifically validated interventions leads to safer and more effective care.
6. Which is a reliable source of evidence?
A. Social media posts
B. Peer-reviewed journals
C. Personal blogs
D. Opinions
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Peer-reviewed journals ensure research quality and credibility.
7. What is a systematic review?
A. Opinion summary
B. Collection of unrelated studies
C. Summary of multiple high-quality studies
D. Single experiment
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Systematic reviews synthesize findings from multiple studies, offering strong evidence.
8. Patient preferences in evidence-based care mean:
A. Ignoring patient wishes
B. Forcing treatment
C. Respecting values and choices
D. Only following protocols
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Patient-centered care requires incorporating individual beliefs and values.
9. Which step comes first in evidence-based practice?
