Question 1 of 5
A nursing administrator wants to develop a work environment conducive to the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP). Which of the following actions would best achieve this goal?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because sending staff to conferences related to EBP will enhance their knowledge and skills in implementing evidence-based practices. Attending conferences allows staff to learn about the latest research, best practices, and network with experts in the field. This will help create a culture that values EBP and empower staff to integrate it into their practice. A: Conducting market research is not directly related to creating a work environment conducive to EBP. B: Eliciting opinions from nurses is important but may not be the most effective way to promote EBP implementation. C: Purchasing computers and Internet access is helpful but does not specifically address the need for staff education and training on EBP.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is familiar with evidence-based practice (EBP) and wants to implement it into the care of clients. Which of the following would present the biggest challenge?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) requires the nurse to show clients that EBP will improve their health outcomes. This is crucial as clients may be resistant to change or may not understand the benefits of EBP compared to traditional practices. By involving clients in the decision-making process and demonstrating how EBP leads to better health outcomes, the nurse can increase acceptance and adherence to evidence-based care. Assessing current practice, convincing administration, and distinguishing EBP from old standards are important steps in implementing EBP, but ultimately, the success of EBP relies on client engagement and understanding of its benefits.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse implements an education program that incorporates computer games to reinforce learning for a group of older adults. Although the research demonstrates evidence of improved retention of this information, the nurse experiences exactly the opposite with this group. Which of the following is the most likely cause of such poor outcomes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Failure to consider client and setting differences is the most likely cause because older adults may have different learning preferences and capabilities compared to other age groups. 2. Older adults may not be familiar or comfortable with computer games, leading to poor outcomes despite research evidence suggesting effectiveness. 3. Considering client and setting differences is crucial in implementing successful educational programs tailored to the specific needs of the target population. Summary: B: Inadequate incorporation of evidence into practice is incorrect because the research evidence has shown improved retention, indicating that the evidence was appropriately incorporated. C: Inferior quality of the available research evidence is incorrect as the research demonstrated evidence of improved retention. D: Lack of skills when evaluating the evidence is incorrect as the issue lies more with understanding the specific needs and preferences of the older adult population.
Question 4 of 5
A school nurse is developing a primary prevention strategy for school-aged children. Which of the following interventions would the nurse most likely implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because drafting policies for increases in noncompetitive physical activity programs is an example of primary prevention. This intervention focuses on implementing measures to prevent the occurrence of health problems before they develop. By promoting physical activity for all children, the nurse can help prevent various health issues including obesity and related complications. Option A is incorrect because it focuses on individualized exercise programs, which is more of a secondary prevention strategy aimed at managing existing health conditions. Option C is incorrect as monitoring BMI is more of a screening tool rather than a primary prevention strategy. Option D is also incorrect as notifying parents about height-weight norms does not directly address prevention at the population level.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse manager wants to facilitate incorporation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in the clinical setting. Which of the following would be the best strategy to accomplish this goal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because encouraging group reflection on the ideals and expectations of nursing care promotes a shared understanding and commitment to EBP. This strategy fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and engagement among staff, leading to a more effective implementation of EBP. A: Eliminating all non-evidence-based protocols may hinder practice improvement and overlook valuable experiences and insights. B: Without a specific action or strategy provided, it lacks a clear direction for promoting EBP. D: Without any information, it is difficult to determine how this strategy directly relates to facilitating EBP in the clinical setting.
