1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about e e e e e e e e e
e patientcarethat is grounded in:
e e e e
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
e e e e e
b. systematically conducted research studies. e e e
c. tradition in clinical practice. e e e
d. quality improvement and risk-management data. e e e e
ANS: B e
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research
e e e e e e e e
studiesdescribed in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated
e e e e e e e e e e e e
e by the timeit ispublished. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
adopt new evidence inpractice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
management data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence
e e e e e e e e e e e
do not originate from research.These include quality improvement and risk-management
e e e e e e e e e e
data; infection control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians‘
e e e e e e e e e e e
e expertise.
Although
non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to e e e e e e e e e e e e
e relymoreon research-based evidence.
