1. Multiple Choice
Case Scenario:
A nurse manager in a tertiary care hospital is tasked with reducing
central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). Before
piloting a new protocol, the manager must establish a strong
evidence base for the initiative.
Question:

,What is the most appropriate first step in ensuring a successful
evidence-based practice (EBP) initiative?
Options:
A. Assemble a multidisciplinary implementation team
B. Conduct a comprehensive literature review
C. Initiate staff training sessions immediately
D. Pilot the intervention on all units simultaneously
Correct ANS: B. Conduct a comprehensive literature review
Rationale:
Before any implementation, it is critical to review current research
to establish best practices and identify gaps. A comprehensive
literature review forms the foundation of EBP, ensuring that
subsequent actions—such as team assembly and pilot testing—are
informed by current evidence.

2. Fill-in-the-Blank
Case Scenario:
©2025
,A nurse scientist is preparing to design an intervention study
aimed at reducing fall rates among elderly patients.
Question:
To determine the appropriate sample size for detecting a clinically
significant difference, the nurse scientist must conduct a
__________.
Correct ANS: Power analysis
Rationale:
A power analysis is essential in study design to ensure the sample
size is large enough to detect a difference if one truly exists. This
step minimizes type II error and strengthens research validity.

3. True/False
Case Scenario:
A nurse educator integrates high-fidelity simulation into the
curriculum to enhance clinical reasoning among students.
©2025
, Statement:
High-fidelity simulation in nursing education has been shown to
significantly enhance both cognitive and psychomotor skills.
Correct ANS: True
Rationale:
Research and experiential reports consistently demonstrate that
high-fidelity simulations contribute to improved critical thinking,
clinical judgment, and hands-on skills in nursing education.

4. Multiple Response
Case Scenario:
In a hospital quality improvement project, a nursing leader is
tasked with identifying key contributors to medical errors.
Question:
Which of the following factors are consistently recognized as
significant contributors to medical errors? (Select all that apply.)
