MULTIPLE CHOICE g
1. A nursing educator is explaining how the best clinical practices are determined. Whi
g g g g g g g g g g g g
ch statement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice?
g g g g g g g g
a. It ensures that all patients receive holistic care.
g g g g g g g
b. It provides a definite reason for providing care in a specific manner.
g g g g g g g g g g g
c. It prevents errors when care is being delivered.
g g g g g g g
d. It guarantees that care delivered is based on research.
g g g g g g g g
ANS: B g
Evidence-
based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. It ap
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
plies to all types of health care professionals. Currently there is no method that can ensure
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
that all patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee e
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
xists that care given is based on research.

2. Which question is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-
g g g g g g g g g
based practice method in nursing care?
g g g g g
a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in the older adult
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
with diabetes? g
b. How can chronic pain best be described when the patient is nonverbal?
g g g g g g g g g g g
c. How long can an IV catheter remain in place in a patient with obesity?
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
d. What measures can the nurse take to reduce the rising incidence of urinary tr
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
act infections on the older adult care unit?
g g g g g g g
ANS: D g
Evidence-
based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problems or new
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gknowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gor recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general infor
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
mation questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specif
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
ic patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.

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