AND DETAILED SOLVED SOLUTIONS
ALREADY GRADED A+ AND 100%
GUARANTEE PASS (BRAND NEW!!!!!!!)
Rationale: A SCOT analysis aids in the strategic planning for
the execution of proposed change. Identification of the goals
and beliefs that inform the change should take place prior to
formal strategic planning.
Feedback loops are a central component of which of the
following models for evidence-based practice change?
A. The Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change
B. The Clinical Scholar Model
C. The ARCC Model
D. The Iowa Model - CORRECT ANSWER-D. The Iowa Model
Rationale: The Iowa Model includes multiple feedback loops
that refer the user back to earlier points in the process. This is
not a central feature of the ARCC Model, the Clinical Scholar
Model, or The Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change.
T/F: Both The Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change and
the Iowa Model include the use of a small-scale pilot study
during the process of introducing an evidence-based change in
practice. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
,Rationale: Pilot studies are explicit components of both The
Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change and the Iowa
Model.
When the Stetler Model is used to guide an evidence-based
practice change, which of the following activities will constitute
the final phase of the process?
A. Disseminating the results of the practice change
B. Publishing the findings that result from implementation
C. Evaluating the outcomes of the change in practice
D. Implementing a change in practice based on evidence -
CORRECT ANSWER-C. Evaluating the outcomes of the change in
practice
Rationale: The Stetler Model of Evidence-Based Practice
culminates with an evaluation of the change in practice.
Dissemination is not prescribed in the model and
implementation does not form the "end point" of the
implementation process.
T/F: Evidence-based clinical decision-making considers the
constraints of a patient's geographic location while a research
utilization (RU) model does not address this parameter. -
CORRECT ANSWER-True
Rationale: Evidence-based clinical decision-making takes into
account patient variables such as setting. RU is a more
simplistic paradigm that solely encompasses the findings of
research.
,A rating scale asks patients to gauge their nausea by describing
it as "no nausea," "slightly nauseous," "significantly nauseous,"
or "severely nauseous." This scale provides the nurse with data
at what level?
A. Nominal
B. Ordinal
C. Interval
D. Ratio - CORRECT ANSWER-B. Ordinal
Rationale: Likert-type scales like the one presented provide
ordinal level data. Phenomena are scaled in an ascending
manner, but it is not possible to extrapolate insights from the
data mathematically.
Which of the following would be the best source for measuring
the outcomes related to a proposed change in the skills mix in
the nursing care at a hospital?
A. Finance
B. Human resources
C. Quality management
D. Administration - CORRECT ANSWER-B. Human resources
Rationale: Human resource departments are a key source of
data surrounding skills mix, staffing levels, staff demographics,
recruitment, and retention. Departments such as finance,
administration, and quality management would be less likely to
provide data on the current skills mix at the hospital.
, T/F: The Health Outcomes Institute's Outcomes Management
Model provides a four-step process for the critical appraisal of
evidence. - CORRECT ANSWER-False
Rationale: The Health Outcomes Institute's Outcomes
Management Model delineates a process that can be used to
guide measurement of the impact of new interventions on
improving healthcare outcomes. It does not provide a specific
process for critical appraisal of the literature.
Which of the following evaluation indicators can be quantified
and statistically analyzed?
A. Environmental changes
B. Professional expertise
C. Outcome measures
D. Patient-centered quality care - CORRECT ANSWER-C. Outcome
measures
Rationale: Outcome measures are quantifiable healthcare
results, such as health status, death, disability, iatrogenic effects
of treatment, health behaviors, and the economic impact of
therapy and illness management. Environmental changes,
professional expertise, and patient-centered quality care are
measures that equally important, but which are more
qualitative in nature.
What is the most effective strategy for engaging care providers
in a proposed EBP change?
A. Disseminate the evidence that underlies the change
