MULTIPLE CHOICE l




1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
l l l l l l



a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and
l l l l l l l l l l l



values of patients
l l l



b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and
l l l l l l l l l l l l



delivery of care l l l



c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
l l l l l l l l l



d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
l l l l l l l l l l




ANS: A l



Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical l l l l l l l l l l l l



expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger research
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l




study. Which researN

l w i l l Bt h.e Cn u rM
s e use when collecting data for this study?
l l l l l l l l l l




a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ANS: B l



Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
l l l l l l l l l l l



relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
l l l l l l l l l l l



phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l



specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.

3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obese adults
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being used in this study?
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ANS: D l

, Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the probability of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



produce the desired results. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of
l l l l l l l l l l l l



nursing phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. Explanation clarifies the
l l l l l l l l l l l



relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur.

Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events
l l l l l l l l l l



occur. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired results.
