Chapter 1 Making the Case for Evidence-Based Practice and Cultivating a
Spirit of Inquiry
1. In the hospital where Nurse L. provides care, tradition dictates that oral
temperatures be included in every set of patient vital signs, regardless of patient diagnosis
or acuity. This is most likely an example of which of the following phenomena?
A) The prioritization of internal evidence over external evidence
B) Practice that lacks evidence to support its application
C) The integration of personal expertise into nursing care
D) Evidence-based practice
2. The clinical nurse educator (CNE) on a postsurgical unit has recently completed a
patient chart review after the implementation of a pilot program aimed at promoting early
ambulation following surgery. Which of the following components of EBP is the nurse
putting into practice?
A) Patient preferences
B) Research utilization
C) Experience
D) Internal evidence
3. Nurse R. has observed that reorienting demented patients as frequently as possible
tends to minimize the patients' level of agitation in the evening. The nurse has shared this
observation with a colleague, who is skeptical, stating that, “It's best to stick to evidence-
based practice.” How can Nurse R. best respond?
A) “EBP can include clinicians' personal expertise.”
B) “Personal experience is often more sound than formal evidence-based practice.”
C) “Traditional practice and EBP are usually shown to be the same.”
D) “My years of experience can be just as valuable as any literature review or
randomized trial.”
4. Which of the following factors provides the most important rationale for the
consistent implementation of EBP?
A) EBP provides for the most cost-effective patient care.

B) EBP is accessible to all healthcare clinicians.
C) EBP provides consistency in care across healthcare settings.
D) EBP improves patient outcomes.
A) Conducting an electronic search of the literature and ranking individual sources
B) Creating “buy-in” from the other clinicians who provide care at the facility
C) Developing an inquisitive and curious mindset
D) Assessing whether the practices in question may, in fact, be evidence-based
7. Which of the following clinical questions best exemplifies the PICOT format?
A) What effect does parents' smoking have on the smoking habits of their children,
ages 13 to 16?
B) Among cancer patients, what role does meditation, rather than benzodiazepines,
have on anxiety levels during the 7 days following hospital admission?
C) Among undergraduate college students, what is the effectiveness of a sexual health
campaign undertaken during the first 4 weeks of the fall semester as measured by
