MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about
patient carethat 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.
ANS: 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 Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it
ispublished. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new evidence
inpractice, 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 moreon research-
based evidence.

based 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.
ANS: C
Using your clinical expertise and considering patients‘ cultures, values, and preferences
ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately.
Evenwhen 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.
