c c c c c c c c c c c c
c statement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice? c c c c c c c

ANS: B c
Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. It c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
applies to alltypesofhealthcare professionals. Currentlythere is no method that can ensure that all

patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that care
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
given is based on research.

6. Whichdoes the nurse researcher identify as the strongest type ofresearch?
c c c c c c c c c c c
a. Randomized controlled trials c c
b. Aqualitative study c c

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