A. Care based solely on traditional methods used for many years
B. Integration of the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values
C. Care directed only by physician preference
D. Care that ignores patient preferences
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Evidence-based nursing care combines the best current research evidence, the clinician’s expertise,
and the patient’s values and preferences to guide clinical decisions and improve outcomes.
Question 2. The first step in the critical thinking process used by nurses when approaching a
clinical problem is typically:
A. Implementing an intervention immediately
B. Identifying and clarifying the problem or issue

decisions?
A. Expert opinion alone
B. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials
C. Single case reports
D. Anecdotal experience from one nurse
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of well-designed randomized controlled trials provide the

the steps of the nursing process?
A. Implementation, assessment, diagnosis, planning, evaluation
B. Assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation
C. Evaluation, planning, assessment, diagnosis, implementation
