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 Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is published.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

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

3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the usual standard of care
is:
a. P.
b. I.
c.
, c. CHOICE BLANK
d. O.
ANS: C
C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usually use now
in practice?
P = Patient population of interest. Identify your patient by age, gender, ethnicity, disease, or health
problem.
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic factor)
do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
O = Outcome. What result (e.g., change in patient‘s behavior, physical finding, and change in patient‘s
perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of an intervention?
DIF: CognitiveLevel: Knowledge OBJ: Develop a PICO question.
TOP: PICO KEY: Nursing Process Step: Implementation
MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment (management of care)
4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
a. search for evidence.
b. include all five elements of the sequence.
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.
d. accept standard clinical routines.
ANS: A
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the
scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five elements, nor
does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical routines. Always
question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to provide patient care.
DIF: CognitiveLevel: Analysis OBJ: Describe the six steps of evidence-based practice.

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