NU 623 QUIZ 2 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
2026 QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED
A+
◉ RU Beginnings. Answer: - 1970s research begins to be
incorporated in nursing curricula.
- 1970s WICHE Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education.
- 6 year project to address feasibility of fostering research through
regional collaborations.
- First major project addressing RU.
- Findings: resulted in increase in RU, but not enough sounds,
reliable studies with implications for nursing care.
- 1970s CURN: Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing
project (run by MNA, funded by Division of Nursing).
- Major objective --> increase use of research findings in clinical
nursing practice by: disseminating current findings, facilitating
organizational changes, encouraging collaborative research.
- Must have relevance to practice and be widely disseminated.
◉ Steps of Research Utilization Similarities to Nursing Process.
Answer: (ADPIE)
- Identification of clinical problem (D).
,- Gathering information form existing studies, critical evaluation of
research (A).
- Relevance to practice setting/patient population (P), definition of
patient outcomes (P).
- Education/training (protocol) needed for change (I).
- Evaluation/follow-up of new practice (E).
◉ RU 1980s-1990s. Answer: - 1980s and 1990s RU generally at
institutional level, innovation effectiveness evaluation.
- 1990s push for EBP.
◉ Cochrane Collaboration. Answer: - Archie Cochrane
- Systematic way to evaluate evidence.
- Dissemination of evidence.
- Evidence hierarchy.
◉ EBM (Evidence Based Medicine). Answer: David Sackett,
McMaster Medical School
◉ EBP Initiatives. Answer: - Institute of medicine's Roundtable on
EBM.
- US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF).
- Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
,- Nation Consortium for the Advancement of pEdiatric and
Adolescent Evidence Based Practice (NCPAEP).
- Magnet Recognition Program by the American Nurses
Credentialing Center.
◉ Evidence Based Practice. Answer: - A life-long problem-solving
approach to clinical practice that integrates...
- Search, critical appraisal, and synthesis of the most relevant and
best research *(external evidence).*
- One's own clinical expertise, which includes *internal evidence*
generated from outcomes management or quality improvement
projects, patient assessment, and evaluation.
- Patient preferences and values.
◉ Evidence Based Medicine/Evidence Based Practice. Answer: -
Distinct
- Not just RCT's
- Evidence hierarchies
- Philosophical differences
◉ EBP Continuum. Answer: - Nurses actively doing research
- Assisting researchers, collecting information.
- Participate in journal club.
- Informed readers, up to date practice.
, ◉ EBNP. Answer: - Best evidence: findings of quantitative research
studies.
- Clinical expertise: expert panels; consensus statements; practice
groups; practitioner experience.
- Patient preferences: satisfaction; QOL; treatment burden;
Qualitative studies.
◉ Research Process. Answer: - Problem identification
- Conduct research
- Follow steps of research process.
- Findings usually not immediately applicable - need to be translated
through RU/EBNP.
◉ Research Utilization. Answer: - Clinical Problem ID
- Use existing research to solve problem.
- Follow steps of RU
- Findings usually applied at organizational level.
◉ Evidence Based Nursing Practice. Answer: - Clinical problem ID
- Use existing research
- Synthesize all evidence, integrate patient preference and clinical
expertise.
