Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an effective approach in the appraisal of research studies?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Evaluating research quality against standards ensures reliability and validity. Sample size alone doesn't determine quality, systematic reviews are high-level evidence, and limiting to RCTs excludes other valuable study designs.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse manager wants to use evidence-based recommendations to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia. After developing a spirit of inquiry and identifying a problem, what is the next step to effectively gather evidence for guiding practice (i.e., evidence-based inquiry)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Developing a clinical question guides the evidence search, ensuring relevance. Integration, appraisal, or database identification follow after formulating the pytanie.
Question 3 of 5
A strategic goal for nursing in the facility developed by the chief nursing officer is to implement an evidence-based practice program. What is an appropriate strategy that can be used by a nurse manager who is beginning to implement an evidence-based practice program on the unit?
Correct Answer: B
