NURSING 403 EXAMINATION (NUR 403) EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Evidence Based Practice - ANSWER>>a set of recommended clinical actions for a
clinical problem or population that are based to some degree on research
evidence.
Clinical practice guideline - ANSWER>>a generic set of recommendations
regarding the management of a clinical condition, problem, or situation. Ideally,
the guideline is produced by a panel of experts and is based on rigorous analysis
of research evidence
Appraise - ANSWER>>Make objective, systematic judgements regarding the
credibility, clinical significance, and applicability of research evidence to
determine if changes in practice should be made based on the evidence
Clinical Protocol - ANSWER>>An agency standard of care that sets forth care that
should be given to patients with a specified health condition, treatment, or
circumstances. Protocols take a variety of forms including care maps, decision
algorithms, standard order sets, clinical procedures, care bundles, and
standardized plans of care; they guide care in combination with clinical judgement
and patient preference.
research evidence - ANSWER>>Findings of individual studies, conclusions of
systematic reviews of research, and research-based recommendations of soundly
produced clinical practice guidelines
Findings - ANSWER>>an influence on the outcome that is present at different
levels int he groups being compared. the influence either was not recognized
before the study or could not be controlled or analyzed
, Algorithm - ANSWER>>A step-by-step instruction for solving a clinical problem;
often consists of a series of yes/no questions leading to one of several possible
decisions or actions
Care Bundle - ANSWER>>a group of (e-b) interventions related to a health
condition that, when executed together results in better outcomes than when
implemented individually
Population - ANSWER>>A group of persons or entities with an important
characteristic or characteristics in common
Findings - ANSWER>>The interpretation of study results into statements that are
slightly more general than the statistics results
Applicability - ANSWER>>the relevance of research evidence to a particular
setting considering the similarity of the settings patients to those in the studies,
as well as the safety, feasibility, and expected benefit of implementing the
findings
Projected Population - ANSWER>>Based on the profile of the sample, the
population to which the results of a study are believe to apply
Evidence - ANSWER>>Objective knowledge or information used as the basis for a
clinical protocol, clinical decision, or clinical action. Evidence sources include
research, agency data regarding system performance and patient outcomes, large
healthcare databases, and expert opinion
Care Design - ANSWER>>The process of using knowledge, information, and data
to develop a plan of care for a patient population or for an individual patient
Study Plan - ANSWER>>A term used in quantitive research to describe how the
study will be conducted, including how the sample will be obtained; how the data
