1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
patientcare that is grounded in:

a. the latest information found in textbooks. bg bg bg bg bg

d. quality improvement and risk-management data. bg bg bg bg
ANS: B b g
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
is published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
originatefrom research. These include quality improvement and risk-management data;
bg g
b bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
infection control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise.
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
Although non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
to rely more on research-based evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
a. standardized for all. bg bg

d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking. bg bg bg bg bg bg

Using your clinical expertise and considering patients‘ cultures, values, and preferences
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately.

Evenwhen you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ; as a

nurse,you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is relevant and

appropriate.

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
bg bg bg bg bg bg
a. search for evidence. bg bg
b. include all five elements of the sequence. bg bg bg bg bg bg
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.

d. accept standard clinical routines. bg bg bg
ANS: A b g
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
elements, nor does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to provide
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
patientcare.
