MULTIPLE CHOICE pp




1. A nursing educator is explaining how the best clinical practices are determined.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



Which statement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a. It ensures that all patients receive holistic care.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



b. It provides a definite reason for providing care in a specific manner.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



c. It prevents errors when care is being delivered.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



d. It guarantees that care delivered is based on research.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: B pp



Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



decisions. It applies to all types of health care professionals. Currently there is no method
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



that can ensure that all patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



that a guarantee exists that care given is based on research.

2. Which question is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-based practice
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



method in nursing care?
pp pp pp pp



a. What is known about reduction of urinary tract infections in the older adult
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



with diabetes?
pp pp



b. How can chronic pain best be described when the patient is nonverbal?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



c. How long can an IV catheter remain in place in a patient with obesity?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



d. What measures can the nurse take to reduce the rising incidence of urinary
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



tract infections on the older adult care unit?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: D pp



Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problems
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



or new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a trend or recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



general information questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



group of specific patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.

3. What does the ―I‖ indicate in a ―PICO‖ question?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a. Intervention of interest pp pp



b. Incorporation of concepts pp pp



c. Implementation by nursing pp pp



d. Interest of personnel pp pp




ANS: A pp



The ―I‖ stands for intervention of interest, meaning what the nurse hopes to use in practice
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



and believes is worthwhile or valuable. This could be a treatment for a specific type of
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



wound or an approach on how to teach food preparation for a patient with impaired sight.

4. Who will the clinical research nurse contact to search relevant databases in preparation for
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



an upcoming study?
pp pp pp



a. The physician whose patients may be involved in the study
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



b. The medical librarian pp pp



c. The nurse manager of the unit where the study will be conducted
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



d. The director of nursing of the facility
pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: B pp



The medical librarian is most knowledgeable regarding databases relevant to a study. The
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



other individuals do not have the knowledge regarding relevant databases.

5. Which database contains summaries of clinical guidelines and their development?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a. MEDLINE
b. CINAHL
c. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews pp pp pp pp



d. The National Guideline Clearinghouse
pp pp pp




ANS: D pp



The National Guideline Clearinghouse is a database supported by the Agency for
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



Healthcare Research and Quality. It contains summaries of clinical guidelines for practice.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



MEDLINE is a database for studies in mediciNne, nursing, dentistry, psychiatry, veterinary
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




medicine, and
pp pp


allied health. CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature) includes
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



studies in nursing, allied health, and biomedicine. The Cochrane Database Full text of
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



regularly updated systematic reviews prepared by the Cochrane Collaboration includes
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



completed reviews and protocols.

6. Which does the nurse researcher identify as the strongest type of research?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a. Randomized controlled trials pp pp



b. A qualitative study
pp pp



c. A descriptive study
pp pp



d. A case controlled study
pp pp pp




ANS: A pp



Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



systematic reviews and meta-analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



against the usual standard of care. The other types of studies are useful but do not give the
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



same type of information as a randomized controlled trial provides.

7. What is the nurse attempting to determine when critiquing the evidence related to a
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



PICOT question?
pp pp



a. The ethical conduct of the research the nurse read
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



b. The strength of the evidence found in the literature
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



c. If there are any experts in the clinical question needing to be researched
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



d. If the study demonstrates cost-effectiveness if a change in practice occurs
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: B pp



Once a literature search is complete and data are gathered about the question, it is time to
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



critique the evidence. Critiquing the evidence involves a systematic approach to looking at
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



the strength of the work reviewed and its relevance. The other questions are not applicable
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



to critiquing the evidence.

8. A nurse finds a cohort study comparing one group taking hormone treatment with another
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



group not taking hormone treatment to determine the incidence of changes in bone density
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



of the lower spine. What can the nurse imply from this study?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



a. Low level of strength makes the study limited in value.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



b. Moderate level of strength makes the study probably useful. pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



c. Opinions of the individuals in the cohort are not research. pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



d. This could be the basis for a Quality Improvement project.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: B pp



A cohort study is Level 4 evidence as it is a single, non-experimental study. This moderate
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



level of evidence makes the study probably useful but the nurse should strive to find
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



stronger evidence.

9. Which question would be the best example of a knowledge-focused trigger for conducting
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



an evidence-based practice project?
pp pp pp pp



a. What is the best method for treatment of leg swelling when a patient is
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



taking gabapentin (Neurontin)?
pp pp pp



b. How can we decrease the incidence of skin cancer in adults over the age of 65?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



c. What is the current evidence for improving oral intake for cancer patients
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



with stomatitis?
pp pp



d. What is the maximal length of time our hospital allows irrigation kits to be used?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




ANS: C pp



Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



problems or new knowledge. In this example, the new knowledge that drives the question
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



is the one looking at current evidence. The other questions do not look at the newest
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



knowledge to form a question to research.
