MULTIPLE CHOICE oo
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about patient care
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
that is grounded in:
oo oo oo oo
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
oo oo oo oo oo
b. systematically conducted research studies. oo oo oo
c. tradition in clinical practice. oo oo oo
d. quality improvement and risk-management data. oo oo oo oo
ANSWER: B oo
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
is published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
from research. These include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘ expertise. Although
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
on research-based evidence.

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
a. standardized for all. oo oo
b. unhampered by patient culture. oo oo oo
c. variable according to the situation. oo oo oo oo
d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
oo oo oo oo oo oo
ANSWER: C oo
Using your clinical expertise and considering patients‘ cultures, values, and preferences
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately. Even
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
when you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ; as a
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
nurse, you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is relevant
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
and appropriate.

3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the usual standard
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
oo of care is:
oo oo
a. P.
b. I.
c.
, c. CHOICE BLANK oo
d. O.
ANSWER: C oo
C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usually use
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
now in practice?
oo oo oo
P = Patient population of interest. Identify your patient by age, gender, ethnicity, disease, or
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
health problem.
oo oo
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
factor) do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
O = Outcome. What result (e.g., change in patient‘s behavior, physical finding, and change in
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
patient‘s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of an intervention?

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
oo oo oo oo oo oo
a. search for evidence. oo oo
b. include all five elements of the sequence. oo oo oo oo oo oo
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
d. accept standard clinical routines. oo oo oo
ANSWER: A oo
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
elements, nor does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to provide patient
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
care.

5. The nurse is not sure that the procedure the patient requires is the best possible for the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
situation. Utilizing which of the following resources would be the quickest way to
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
review research on the topic?
oo oo oo oo oo
a. CINAHL
b. PubMed
c. MEDLINE
d. The Cochrane Database oo oo
ANSWER: D oo
The Cochrane Community Database of Systematic Reviews is a valuable source of
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
synthesized evidence (i.e., pre-appraised evidence). The Cochrane Database includes the full
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
text of regularly updated systematic reviews and protocols for reviews currently happening.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed are among the most comprehensive databases and
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
represent the scientific knowledge base of health care.
