specific option that phenomena?

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

program aimed at promoting early ambulation folloẅing surgery. identify
the specific option that 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 ẅith a colleague, ẅho is skeptical, stating
that, “It's best to stick to evidence-based practice.” Hoẅ can Nurse R. best
respond?

C) “Traditional practice and EBP are usually shoẅn to be the same.”
D) “My years of experience can be just as valuable as any literature
revieẅ or randomized trial.”

some of these practices in light of evidence. identify the specific option that
should occur first in the steps of EBP?
A) Conducting an electronic search of the literature and ranking individual sources
B) Creating “buy-in” from the other clinicians ẅho provide care at the facility
