RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS 2024-2025
A nursing student is taking care of a patient with possible appendicitis and is
curious about the best method of diagnosing this disorder. What does the
nursing student have to consider in formulating a question using the PICO format
(patient, population, or problem; intervention; comparison intervention;
outcomes) to determine evidence-based practice?
a. Problem: appendicitis; interventions: ultrasound versus CT scan; outcome:
diagnosis of appendicitis
b. Problem: pain; interventions: meperidine versus morphine; outcome: pain free
c. Problem: fever; interventions: cooling measures versus antipyretics; outcome:
normal temperature
d. Problem: appendicitis; Interventions: complete blood count versus chemistry
panel tests; outcome: painless.
d. Problem: appendicitis; Interventions: complete blood count versus chemistry panel
tests; outcome: painless
The PICO format asks for the patient's problem, the two possible interventions for
comparison (i.e., diagnostics), and the desired outcome from the interventions.
The nurse decides to access a systematic review database to determine
evidence-based practice related to the patient's treatment plan for a diagnosis of
otitis media (i.e., ear infection). What database can provide that type of resource?
a. Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL)
b. Cochrane
c. PubMed
d. MD Consult
b. Cochrane
The Cochrane database provides systematic reviews of the literature. CINAHL and
PubMed provide primary research articles, and MD Consult provides background
information.
,The nurse researcher provides participants with informed consent so that what
ethical principle is upheld?
a. Respect for persons
b. Beneficence
c. Justice
d. Ethics
a. Respect for persons
Informed consent abides by the principle of respect for persons. The beneficence
principle reminds researchers to minimize harms and maximize benefits. The principle
of justice requires researchers to treat people fairly and to design research to select
subjects equitably and avoid exploitation of vulnerable populations. Ethics is a general
concept, not a specific principle.
The nurse feels that the results of a recent literature search and analysis about
handwashing should be implemented in the entire hospital system. With whom
would the nurse be required to collaborate?
a. Colleagues caring for patients in her unit
b. Colleagues in the community
c. Administrators at the hospital
d. Others in her department
c. Administrators at the hospital
Implementation would require collaboration with hospital administrators to influence the
larger practice environment of the entire hospital. Collaboration with colleagues in the
community would have no effect on the hospital system. Collaboration with the
department or colleagues in the unit would not allow for hospital-wide implementation.
Knowledge gained from research in the 1970s about placing infants on their
backs to prevent sudden infant death syndrome was not recommended to
parents until the 1990s. This is an example of what barrier to evidence-based
practice?
a. Proliferation of research
b. Implementation delay
c. Information needs not being met
d. Lack of readily available resources
b. Implementation delay
There is an implementation delay of approximately 17 years from clinical research to
, integration into practice. Proliferation of research is the large amount of research that is
conducted. Lack of resources refers to a reduced number of databases that provide the
information being sought, and information needs not being met refer to the inability to
readily find the answers to questions.
A patient is on the way to the hospital in an ambulance and is asked to participate
in a research protocol for a new treatment for myocardial infarction. What is this
an example of? (Select all that apply.)
a. Standard practice
b. An ethical dilemma
c. A violation of informed consent
d. A patient who is in a vulnerable population category
e. Compliance with important ethical issues of justice and autonomy
c. A violation of informed consent
d. A patient who is in a vulnerable population category
Because the patient does not have time to consider the option, this is a violation of
informed consent. Because the patient is in an emergency situation, the patient is in a
vulnerable population category. It is neither standard practice nor an ethical dilemma,
because research protocols clearly indicate when a person is to be approached for
participation in research studies. Asking a patient to participate in research in an
emergency situation is a violation of the ethical issues of justice and autonomy.
Patients are participating in a study to identify genetic disorders. What is a
potential concern? (Select all that apply.)
a. Violation of confidentiality if a disorder is revealed
b. Possible adverse consequences related to employment
c. Possible adverse consequences related to reputation
d. Possible adverse consequences to insurability
e. Inability to prevent the progression of genetic disorders
a. Violation of confidentiality if a disorder is revealed
e. Inability to prevent the progression of genetic disorders
Potential concerns include violation of confidentiality and the inability to prevent
progression of genetic disorders. Employment, reputation, and insurability would not be
of concern as a result of participating in the study
Which entity or document specifically addresses the role of the nurse in
research? (Select all that apply.)
