MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions
about patient care that is grounded in:
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
b. systematically conducted research studies.
c. tradition in clinical practice.
d. quality improvement and risk-management data.
ANS: B
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted
research studies described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often
become outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do not
have a process to help staff adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses in
practice settings lack easy access to risk-management data, relying instead on
tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from
research. These include quality improvement and risk-management data;
infection control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and
clinicians’ expertise. Although non–research-based evidence is often very
valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more on research-based
evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
a. standardized for all.
epr
b. unhampered by patient culture.
c. variable according to the situation.
d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
ANS: C
Using your clinical expertise and considering patients’ cultures, values, and
preferences ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically
and appropriately. Even when you use the best evidence available, application
and outcomes will differ; as a nurse, you will develop critical thinking skills to
of
determine whether evidence is relevant and appropriate.
