Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. It e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
applies to alltypesofhealthcare professionals. Currentlythere is no method that can ensure that all
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that care
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
given is based on research.

new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend or
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general information
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

6. Whichdoes the nurse researcher identify as the strongest type ofresearch?
e e e e e e e e e e e
a. Randomized controlled trials e e
b. Aqualitative study e e
c. Adescriptive study e e
d. Acase controlled study
e e e
ANS: A e
Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
systematic reviews and meta-analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
against the usual standard of care. The other types of studies are useful but do not give the same
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
type of information as a randomized controlled trial provides.
