ANS: B j
Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. It j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
appliesto alltypesofhealthcareprofessionals. Currentlythere is no method that can ensure that all
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that care
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
given is based on research.

knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend or
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general information
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
area or relating to an observed trend.

6. Whichdoes the nurse researcher identifyas the strongest type ofresearch?
j j j j j j j j j j j
a. Randomizedcontrolledtrials j j
b. Aqualitative study j j
c. Adescriptive study j j
d. Acase controlled study j j j
ANS: A j
Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
systematic reviews and meta-analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
against the usual standard of care. The other types of studies are useful but do not give the same
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
type of information as a randomized controlled trial provides.
