Chapter 01: Using Evidence in Nursing Practice
1 . Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about patient care that is grounded in:
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
b. systematically conducted research studies.
c. tradition in clinical practice.
d. quality improvement and risk-management data.
ACCURATE ANSWER: B
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies described in scientific
journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do not
have a process to help staff adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk -
management data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from
research. These include quality improvement and risk-mana gement data; infection control data; retrospective or
concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise. Although non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it
is important that you learn to rely more on research-based evidence.

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

3 . When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the usual standard of care is:
a. P.
b. I.
c. CHOICE BLANK
d. O.
ACCURATE ANSWER: C
C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usually use now in practice?
P = Patient population of interest. Identify your patient by age, gender, ethnicity, disease, or health problem.
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic factor) do you think is
worthwhile to use in practice?
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?
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge OBJ: Develop a PICO question. TOP: PICO KEY: Nursing Process
Step: Implementation
MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment (management of care)
4 . A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
a. search for evidence.
