is no method thatcan ensure that all patients receive holistic care, that all errors
can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that care given is based on research.

2. Which question is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-based
practice methodin nursing care?
, a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in the

b. How can chronic pain best be described when the patient is nonverbal?
c. How long can an IV catheter remain in place in a patient with obesity?
d. What measures can the nurse take to reduce the rising
incidence of urinary tractinfections on the older adult care unit?
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources:
recurrent problemsor new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in
urinary tract infections indicates a trend or recurring problem in a specific group
of patients. The other questions are general information questions, not based on
what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an area or
relating to an observed trend.

3. What does the “I” indicate in a “PICO” question?
a. Intervention of interest
b. Incorporation of concepts
c. Implementation by nursing
d. Interest of personnel
ANS: A
The “I” stands for intervention of interest, meaning what the nurse hopes to use in
practice and believes is worthwhile or valuable. This could be a treatment for a
specific type of woundor an approach on how to teach food preparation for a
patient with impaired sight.
