Difference between research utilization and EBP (pp. 4-5)
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




and EBP?
gg gg




a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg most generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg topic.

b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg single research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg determine best care. gg gg




c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg practice; EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg the healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg individual situations. gg




Evidence from other disciplines (p. 6)
gg gg gg gg gg




5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg build new evidence. gg gg




b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg trial and error. gg gg




c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




nursing research studies. gg gg




d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




Identification of sources of evidence (p. 6)
gg gg gg gg gg gg




6. You are a new nurse working at XYZ hospital. Your preceptor tells you to dangle
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg Ms. Jones’ legs on the side of the bed before you attempt to assist her to a chair.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




gg You ask your preceptor why this is done and she answers, “This is what we have
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




always done, so go do it.” This is an example of which type of evidence?
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




a. Trial and error gg gg
