Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is most accurate regarding evidence-based practice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Evidence-based practice integrates research, clinical expertise, and patient values, making it multidisciplinary. It complements, not replaces, quality improvement, and while it has medical roots, it applies broadly across healthcare disciplines.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has anorexia nervosa. The nurse should make which of the following client goals the priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preventing fluid and electrolyte imbalance is the highest priority as these imbalances can lead to severe complications, including cardiac arrest, which is a primary concern in clients with anorexia nervosa. Group therapy and self-respect are important for long-term recovery, and self-harm monitoring is critical but secondary to immediate physical health risks.
Question 3 of 5
After several months of heavy patient loads in the Emergency Department and inability to secure sufficient and experienced staff, the department is especially taxed by a train accident that brings in many seriously injured individuals. You observe that Rama ignores the requests of several of the injured, even when time is available to care for them and is rude to two older adult patients. You are concerned that Rama is evidencing which state?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Depersonalization involves detachment and treating patients as objects, matching Rama's behavior. Role ambiguity involves unclear responsibilities, depression involves sadness, and hardiness implies resilience, none of which fit the described actions.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
The chief nursing officer at a local hospital seeking Magnet® status creates staff development classes concerning translation of research into practice (TRIP). What best describes TRIP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TRIP involves applying research to practice through adoption strategies. Searching reviews, sharing results, or conducting reviews are related but not the core of TRIP.
