Question 1 of 5
When planning care, what factors should the nurse consider when utilizing evidence-based practice (EBP)? (Select ONE that does not apply)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cost-saving measures. When utilizing evidence-based practice, the nurse should prioritize providing care based on research findings, considering client preferences, and leveraging their expertise. Cost-saving measures should not be the primary factor influencing care decisions as the focus should be on delivering the most effective and appropriate care based on evidence. Ignoring research findings, client preferences, or the nurse's expertise could compromise the quality of care provided. Thus, cost-saving measures are not a factor to consider when planning care with evidence-based practice.
