7, Ch 4-6-Questions and Answers
100% pass
Research utilization (RU)—ANSWER--the use of study findings in a practical application
unrelated to the original research
Evidence based Practice (EBP)—ANSWER--based clinical decisions on research findings and
other facors
Archie Cochrane—ANSWER--proposed evidence hierarchy for weighing evidence
David Sackett—ANSWER--evidence based medicine pioneer at McMaster Medical School
Evidence Hierarchies—ANSWER---involve ranking evidence sources according to the strength
of evidence they provide
-ranking may depend on the type of question being asked
-within any level, evidence quality can vary considerably
best evidence—ANSWER--refers to research findings that are methodologically appropriate,
rigorous, and clinically relevant for answering pressing questions
,T/F
the strongest level of evidence is obtained from individual correlation studies—ANSWER--
FALSE
strongest level of evidence is obtained from systematic reviews of randomized clinical trials
Preappraised evidence—ANSWER--has been selected from primary studies and evaluated
for use by clinicians
systematic reviews—ANSWER--integrate evidence about a topic in a rigorous, systematic
way
clinical practice guidelines—ANSWER--give specific recommendations for evidence based
decision making
meta analyses (systematic reviews)—ANSWER--that integrate findings across quantitative
studies statistically
meta syntheses (systematic reviews)—ANSWER--that integrate and amplify findings across
qualitative studies
Stetler model—ANSWER--promote evidence based practice
Iowa model—ANSWER--practice to promote quality care
T/F
Meta analyses use statistics to integrate findings across quantitative studies—ANSWER--
TRUE.

, Statistics are involved with meta analyses to integrate findings across the quantitative
studies.
major steps in ebp—ANSWER--1. ask questions that reflect uncertainties in clinical practice
2. search for and assemble evince
3. appraise and synthesize evidence
4. integrate evidence with other sources
5. assess effectiveness or decision or advice
components for quantitative evidence—ANSWER--PICOT
Population
Intervention (exposure, issue)
Comparison

Time
Appraising the Evidence for EBP—ANSWER--what is the quality of the evidence?
what is the magnitude of effects?
how precise are estimates of effects?
is there evidence of side effects?
what are the costs?
is there relevance to my clinical situation?
