2. Which question is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
based d r practice methodin nursing care? dr dr dr
, a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in

Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources:
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
d r recurrent problemsor new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
d r urinary tract infections indicates a trend or recurring problem in a specific
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
dr group d r of patients. The other questions are general information questions,
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
patients in an area or
dr dr dr dr dr d r relating to an observed trend. dr dr dr dr
