MULTIPLE CHOICE IIll
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about patient care IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
that is grounded in:
IIll IIll IIll IIll
a. the latest information found in textbooks.IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
b. systematically conducted research studies. Il IIll IIll
c. tradition in clinical practice. IIll IIll IIll
d. qualityimprovement and risk-management data. Il IIll IIll IIll
ANSWER: B IIll
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
it is published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
originate from research. These include quality improvement and risk-management data;
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
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 IIll IIll IIll IIll IIl IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIl
on research-based evidence.

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

3. When a PICOT question is developed, the letter that corresponds with the usual standard

of care is:
IIll IIll IIll
a. P.
b. I.
c.
, c. CHOICE BLANK IIl
d. O.
ANSWER: C IIll
C = Comparison of interest. What standard of care or current intervention do you usually use
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il
now in practice?
IIll IIll IIll
P = Patient population of interest. Identify your patient by age, gender, ethnicity, disease, or
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll
health problem.
IIll IIll
I = Intervention of interest. What intervention (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, and prognostic
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll
factor) do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
O = Outcome. What result (e.g., change in patient‘s behavior, physical finding, and change in
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIl IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
patient‘s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of an intervention?

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
a. search for evidence. IIll IIll
b. include all five elements of the sequence. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search. IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
d. accept standard clinical routines. IIll IIll IIll
ANSWER: A IIll
The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all five
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
elements, nor does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
clinical routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
provide patient care.

5. The nurse is not sure that the procedure the patient requires is the best possible for
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
the situation. Utilizing which of the following resources would be the quickest way to
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll Il
review research on the topic?
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
a. CINAHL
b. PubMed
c. MEDLINE
d. The Cochrane Database IIll IIll
ANSWER: D IIll
The Cochrane Community Database of Systematic Reviews is a valuable source of
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
synthesized evidence (i.e., pre-appraised evidence). The Cochrane Database includes the full
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
text of regularly updated systematic reviews and protocols for reviews currently
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
happening. MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed are among the most comprehensive
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
databases and represent the scientific knowledge base of health care.
