NUR 2407 EXAM 1 CONCEPT REVIEW GUIDE
2026 SAFETY INFECTION CONTROL AND
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
◉ Clinical practice guideline.
Answer: a generic set of recommendations regarding the
management of a clinical condition, problem, or situation. Ideally,
the guideline is produced by a panel of experts and is based on
rigorous analysis of research evidence
◉ Appraise.
Answer: Make objective, systematic judgements regarding the
credibility, clinical significance, and applicability of research
evidence to determine if changes in practice should be made based
on the evidence
◉ Clinical Protocol.
Answer: An agency standard of care that sets forth care that should
be given to patients with a specified health condition, treatment, or
circumstances. Protocols take a variety of forms including care
maps, decision algorithms, standard order sets, clinical procedures,
care bundles, and standardized plans of care; they guide care in
combination with clinical judgement and patient preference.
,◉ research evidence.
Answer: Findings of individual studies, conclusions of systematic
reviews of research, and research-based recommendations of
soundly produced clinical practice guidelines
◉ Findings.
Answer: an influence on the outcome that is present at different
levels int he groups being compared. the influence either was not
recognized before the study or could not be controlled or analyzed
◉ Algorithm.
Answer: A step-by-step instruction for solving a clinical problem;
often consists of a series of yes/no questions leading to one of
several possible decisions or actions
◉ Care Bundle.
Answer: a group of (e-b) interventions related to a health condition
that, when executed together results in better outcomes than when
implemented individually
◉ Population.
Answer: A group of persons or entities with an important
characteristic or characteristics in common
, ◉ Findings.
Answer: The interpretation of study results into statements that are
slightly more general than the statistics results
◉ Applicability.
Answer: the relevance of research evidence to a particular setting
considering the similarity of the settings patients to those in the
studies, as well as the safety, feasibility, and expected benefit of
implementing the findings
◉ Projected Population.
Answer: Based on the profile of the sample, the population to which
the results of a study are believe to apply
◉ Evidence.
Answer: Objective knowledge or information used as the basis for a
clinical protocol, clinical decision, or clinical action. Evidence
sources include research, agency data regarding system
performance and patient outcomes, large healthcare databases, and
expert opinion
◉ Care Design.
Answer: The process of using knowledge, information, and data to
develop a plan of care for a patient population or for an individual
patient
