1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about patient care zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



that is grounded in:
zz zz zz zz



a. the latest information found in textbooks.
zz zz zz zz zz



b. systematically conducted research studies. zz zz zz



c. tradition in clinical practice. zz zz zz



d. quality improvement and risk-management data. zz zz zz zz




ANS: B zz



The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new evidence in
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management data, relying
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from research.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



These include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection control data;
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise. Although
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



on research-based evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



a. standardized for all. zz zz



b. unhampered by patient culture. zz zz zz



c. variable according to the situation. zz zz zz zz



d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
zz zz zz zz zz zz




ANS: C zz



Using your clinical expertise and considering patients‘ cultures, values, and preferences
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately. Even
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



when you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ; as a nurse,
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is relevant and
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz



appropriate.
