knowledge and develops new knowledge. Diligent systematic study indicates planning, organization, and
research is a: - correct answers diligent systematic inquiry or study that validates and refines existing
persistence.
The ultimate goal of research is to - correct answers develop an empirical body of knowledge for a
discipline or profession, such as nursing.
nursing research is a scientific process that - correct answers validates and refines existing knowledge
and generates new knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice.
-Nursing research is the key to building an EBP for our profession.
The ultimate goal of nursing is an EBP that promotes: - correct answers quality, safe, and cost-effective
outcomes for patients, families, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system
EBP in nursing evolves from the integration of - correct answers the best research evidence with our
clinical expertise and our patients' circumstances and values to produce quality health outcomes
The best research evidence is the empirical knowledge generated from - correct answers the synthesis
of quality health studies to address a clinical problem.
-Teams of expert researchers, healthcare professionals, and sometimes policy makers and consumers
synthesize the best research evidence in different areas to develop national standardized guidelines for
clinical practice.
Clinical expertise is the - correct answers knowledge and skills of the healthcare professional providing
care
The stronger the nurse's clinical expertise, the better - correct answers is her or his clinical judgment in
implementing the best research evidence in practice.
-EBP also incorporates the circumstances and values of a patient.
, Patient circumstances include: - correct answers the individual's clinical state, which might focus on
health promotion, illness prevention, acute or chronic illness management, rehabilitation, and/or a
peaceful death, and the clinical setting (e.g., hospital, clinic, home;)
-In addition, a patient brings values or unique preferences, expectations, concerns, and cultural beliefs
to each clinical encounter that need to be integrated by the nurse into the care delivered.
EBP is the unique combination of the best research evidence being implemented by expert nurse
clinicians in providing care to patients and families with specific health circumstances and values to
promote: - correct answers quality, safe, cost-effective outcomes
-With EBP, the patient and their family are encouraged to take an active role in the management of their
health.

group of similar patients to promote the understanding of healthcare interventions, problems, and/or
situations.
-Case studies are one example of the practice-related research that has been conducted in nursing over

experts' reviews of research organized into four areas: - correct answers nursing practice, nursing care
delivery, nursing education, and the nursing profession.
The vision for nursing research in the 21st century includes - correct answers conducting quality studies
using a variety of methodologies, synthesizing the study findings into the best research evidence, and
using this research evidence to guide practice
