Evidence-Based Practice

MULTIPLE CHOICE

• Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
• A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and

values of patients

• A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and

delivery of care

• The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
• The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes

ANS: A

Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)

• The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger

• Control
• Description
• Explanation
• Prediction

ANS: B

U S N T O

Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
