MULTIPLE CHOICE n
1. When caring for clients using evidence-informed practice, which of the following does the nurse
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
use?
n
a. Clinical judgement based on experience n n n n
b. Evidence from a clinical research study n n n n n
c. The best available evidence to guide clinical expertise
n n n n n n n
d. Evaluation of data showing that the client outcomes are met n n n n n n n n n
CORRECT ANSWER: C
n n n
Evidence-informed nursing practice is a continuous interactive process involving the explicit, n n n n n n n n n n
nconscientious, and judicious consideration ofthe best available evidence to provide care. Four n n n n n n n n n n n n
nprimary elements are: (a) clinical state, setting, and circumstances; (b) client preferences and
n n n n n n n n n n n n
nactions; (c) best research evidence; and (d) health care resources. Clinical judgement based on the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
nurse’s clinical experience is part of EIP, but clinical decision making also should incorporate
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
current research and research-based guidelines. Evidence from one clinical research study does
n n n n n n n n n n n n
not provide an adequate substantiation for interventions. Evaluation of client outcomes is
n n n n n n n n n n n n
important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control studies with a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
large number of subjects.

imary use ofthe nursing process when providing
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
care to clients?

USNT n
O n n n
a. To explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals
n n n n n n n n
b. As a problem-solving tool to identify and treat clients’ health care needs
n n n n n n n n n n n
c. As a scientific-based process of diagnosing the client’s health care problems
n n n n n n n n n n
d. To establish nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of humans
n n n n n n n n n n
CORRECT ANSWER: B n n n
The nursing process is an assertive problem-solving approach to the identification and treatment of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
clients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase ofthe nursing process. The primaryuse ofthe nursing
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
process is in client care, not to establish nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
care professionals.
