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 Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is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

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
c c c c c c c c
a. standardized for all. c c
b. unhampered by patient culture. c c c
c. variable according to the situation. c c c c
d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
c c c c c c
ANSWER: C c
Using your clinical expertise and considering patients‘ cultures, values, and preferences
c c c c c c c c c c
ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately. Even
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
when you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ; as a nurse,
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is relevant and

appropriate.

in practice?

problem.

c c c c c c c c c c c c
factor) do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
c c c c c c c c c c
O = Outcome. What result (e.g., change in patient‘s behavior, physical finding, and change in

patient‘s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of an intervention?

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
c c c c c c
a. search for evidence. c c
b. include all five elements of the sequence. c c c c c c
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.
c c c c c c c c c
d. accept standard clinical routines. c c c
ANSWER: A c
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the scientific
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five elements, nor does
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical routines. Always

c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
situation. Utilizing which of the following resources would be the quickest way to review
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
research on the topic?
c c c c
a. CINAHL
b. PubMed
c. MEDLINE
d. The Cochrane Database c c
ANSWER: D c
The Cochrane Community Database of Systematic Reviews is a valuable source of synthesized
c c c c c c c c c c c c
evidence (i.e., pre-appraised evidence). The Cochrane Database includes the full text of regularly
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
updated systematic reviews and protocols for reviews currently happening. MEDLINE,
