b. It Provides A Definite Reason For Providing Care In A Specific Manner.
c. It Prevents Errors When Care Is Being Delivered.
d. It Guarantees That Care Delivered Is Based On Research.

2. Which Question Is A Problem-Focused Trigger For Initiating The Evidence-Based Practice
Method In Nursing Care?
a. What Is Known About Reduction Of Urinary Tract Infections In The Older
Adult With Diabetes?
b. How Can Chronic Pain Best Be Described When The Patient Is Nonverbal?
c. How Long Can An Iv Catheter Remain In Place In A Patient With Obesity?

Evidence-Based Practice (Ebp) Questions Tend To Arise From Two Sources: Recurrent
Problems Or New Knowledge. In The Correct Option, The Increase In Urinary Tract
Infections Indicates A Trend Or Recurring Problem In A Specific Group Of Patients. The
Other Questions Are General Information Questions, Not Based On What Is Happening In A
Specific Area Or To A Group Of Specific Patients In An Area Or Relating To An Observed
Trend.

a. Medline
b. Cinahl
c. Cochrane Database Of Systematic Reviews
d. The National Guideline Clearinghouse

Literature) Includes
Studies In Nursing, Allied Health, And Biomedicine. The Cochrane Database Full
Text Of Regularly Updated Systematic Reviews Prepared By The Cochrane
Collaboration Includes Completed Reviews And Protocols.

6. Which Does The Nurse Researcher Identify As The Strongest Type Of Research?
a. Randomized Controlled Trials
b. A Qualitative Study
c. A Descriptive Study
d. A Case Controlled Study
Ans: A
Individual Randomized Controlled Trials Are Close To The Top Of The Research
Pyramid. Only Systematic Reviews And Meta-Analyses Are Higher. This Type Of Study
