c. “The Nurse‘S Job Is To Collect Information And Communicate Any
Problems That Occur To The Physician.”
d. “Nurses Perform Many Of The Same Procedures As The Physician, But
Nurses Are With The Patients For A Longer Time Than The Physician.”

Functions Of The Nursing Role But Do Not Accurately Describe The Nurse‘S Unique Role
In The Health Care System.

Judgment Based On The Nurse‘S Clinical Experience Is Part Of EBP, But Clinical Decision
Making Should Also Incorporate Current Research And Research-Based Guidelines.
Evaluation Of Patient Outcomes Is Important, But Data Analysis Is Not Required To Use
EBP. All Published Articles Do Not Provide Research Evidence; Interventions Should Be
Based On Credible Research, Preferably Randomized Controlled Studies With A Large
Number Of Subjects.
