1. A nursing educator is explaining how the best clinical practices are determined. Which st
k k k k k k k k k k k k k


atement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice?
k k k k k k k


a. It ensures that all patients receive holistic care.

d. It guarantees that care delivered is based on research.
k k k k k k k k




ANS: B k


Evidence-
based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. It applies t
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


o all types of health care professionals. Currently there is no method that can ensure that all patie
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


nts receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that care given
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


is based on research.

k k k k k k k k k


based practice method in nursing care?
k k k k k


a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in the older adult with di

ANS: D k


Evidence-
based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problems or new knowl

k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general information questions, n

a. Randomized controlled trials k k

Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only system

analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention against the usual standard of care. Th

7. What is the nurse attempting to determine when critiquing the evidence related to a PICOT qu
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


estion?
a. The ethical conduct of the research the nurse read
k k k k k k k k


b. The strength of the evidence found in the literature
k k k k k k k k


c. If there are any experts in the clinical question needing to be researched
k k k k k k k k k k k k


d. If the study demonstrates cost-effectiveness if a change in practice occurs
k k k k k k k k k k




ANS: B k


Once a literature search is complete and data are gathered about the question, it is time to critique
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


the evidence. Critiquing the evidence involves a systematic approach to looking at the strength of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


the work reviewed and its relevance. The other questions are not applicable to critiquing the evid

k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


p not taking hormone treatment to determine the incidence of changes in bone density of the low
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


er spine. What can the nurse imply from this study?
k k k k k k k k k


a. Low level of strength makes the study limited in value.
k k k k k k k k k


b. Moderate level of strength makes the study probably useful.
k k k k k k k k


c. Opinions of the individuals in the cohort are not research.
k k k k k k k k k


d. This could be the basis for a Quality Improvement project.
k k k k k k k k k

A cohort study is Level 4 evidence as it is a single, non-
k k k k k k k k k k k k


experimental study. This moderate level of evidence makes the study probably useful but the nur
