D) Internal evidence


3. Nurse R. has observed that reorienting demented patients as frequently as possible
tends to minimize the patients' level of agitation in the evening. The nurse has shared
this observation with a colleague, who is skeptical, stating that, “It's best to stick to
evidence-based practice.” How can Nurse R. best respond?
A) “EBP can include clinicians' personal expertise.”
B) “Personal experience is often more sound than formal evidence-based practice.”
C) “Traditional practice and EBP are usually shown to be the same.”

B) Among cancer patients, what role does meditation, rather than benzodiazepines,
have on anxiety levels during the 7 days following hospital admission?

campaign undertaken during the first 4 weeks of the fall semester as measured by
incidence of new gonorrheal and chlamydial infections reported to the campus
medical center?
D) In patients aged 8 to 12, is the effectiveness of a pain scale using faces superior to a
numeric rating scale in the emergency room context?


8. After formulating a clinical question, a nurse has proceeded to search for evidence for
