Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques - Chapter 1
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making
decisions about patient care that is grounded in:: systematically conducted
research studies
2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:: variable
according to the situation
3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with
the usual standard of care is:: C (comparison of interest)
4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:: search for evidence 5.
The nurse is not sure that the procedure the patient requires is the best
possible for the situation. Utilizing which of the following resources would be
the quickest way to review research on the topic?: the cochrane database
6. The nurse is getting ready to develop a plan of care for a patient who has
a specific need. The best source for developing this plan of care would
probably be:: NGC
7. The nurse has done a literature search and found 25 possible articles on
the topic that she is studying. To determine which of those 25 best fit her
inquiry, the nurse first should look at:: the abstracts
8. The nurse wants to determine the effects of cardiac rehabilitation
program attendance on the level of postmyocardial depression for individuals
who have had a myocardial infarction. The type of study that would best
capture this information would be a:: qualitative study
9. Six months after an early mobility protocol was implemented, the
incidence of deep vein thrombosis in patients was decreased. This is an
example of what stage in the EBP process?: evaluating the practice decision
10. To use evidence-based practice appropriately, you need to collect the
most relevant and best evidence and to critically appraise the evidence you
gather. This process also includes: (Select all that apply.): asking a clinical
question; applying the evidence; evaluating the practice decision; communicating
your results
11. In a clinical environment, evidence-based practice has the ability to
improve: (Select all that apply.): the quality of care provided; patient outcomes;
clinician satisfaction; patients' perceptions
12. During the application stage of evidence-based practice change, it is
important to consider: (Select all that apply.): cost; the need for new
equipment; management support; adequate staff
13. _________________ is a guide for making accurate, timely, and
appropriate clinical decisions.: evidense-based practice
14. Evidence-based practice requires good ______________.: nursing judgment
