Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the process of systematically: _____, ______, _____ research
findings as a basis for making decisions about patient care - (ANSWER)1. finding
2. appraising
3. using
EBP integrates the best scientific evidence (research) with: ______,_____,______ -
(ANSWER)1. Clinical expertise
2. Patient preferences
3. patient values
become a member of your specialty area and you will receive journal articles to keep you up-to-
date on the most current practices - (ANSWER)finding
ensuring the research is valid and reliable, same sizes; peer-reviewed; involves critical appraisal
(looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the study; comparing the study to other studies; are
the findings reproducible (builds upon reliability) - (ANSWER)appraising
is it feasible to use with your patient population; does it apply to your work environment? Should
it translate into practice for all similar situations/ patients as a clinical practice guideline? "For
this situation, in this environment, with this type of patient experiencing these problems.....this is
what you should do." - (ANSWER)Using
For example: we know that bed bound patients lying in one position for a long period of time
may develop a pressure ulcer, so through _____, we have learned to implement ______ of
turning or repositioning bedhound patients every _____ to relieve pressure on the bony
,prominence. Further research based on this knowledge has shown that turning the patient every
_____ further reduces the chance of skin breakdown. Even further research showed that the use
of a standardized risk assessment tool helps to identify persons at risk for the development of
pressure ulcers. - (ANSWER)1. research
2. EBP

4. 1
Research ____ and _____ existing knowledge and develops new knowledge. And this research is
translated into _____. - (ANSWER)1. validates
2. refines
3. practice
A subset of EBP - (ANSWER)research utilization
"The single use of research knowledge, often based on a single study in clinical practice." -
(ANSWER)Research utilization
Although the term "_______" often is used interchangeably with evidence-based practice,
________ is but a part of evidence-based practice. - (ANSWER)research utilization
New area of health care science - (ANSWER)translation science
translate research into practice - (ANSWER)translation science
provides guidance on the best ways to incorporate best evidence into health care -
(ANSWER)translation science
enhancing adoption of best practices in the community - (ANSWER)translation science
, research in the laboratory to the development of studies in humans - (ANSWER)translation
science
cost-effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies - (ANSWER)translation science
fosters the multidirectional integration of basic research, patient-oriented research, and
population-based research - (ANSWER)translation science
Nursing research ---->_______----> ______ - (ANSWER)1. translational science

They encourage nurse researchers to invest effort and money into areas most likely to generate
the most benefit to _________. - (ANSWER)recipients of care
Nurse researchers usually match their _____ with funding opportunities available. -
(ANSWER)personal interests
Investigators (researchers) are invited to submit research proposals for possible funding through
________ announcements. - (ANSWER)grant
