Chapter 01: Introduction to Nursing Research and Its Importance in Building an
Evidence-Based Practice
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values
of patients
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and
delivery of care
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical
expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes
are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but
do not completely define EBP.

Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a prescription
kl
to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies
why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in
yn
a given situation.

Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation. By
knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the probability of predicting this
may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired
results. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and
identifies why certain events occur.
