Chapter 10: Evidence-Based Practice
Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
a. | Review clinical policies with cultural competency experts from the local university. |
b. | Conduct weekly staff meetings to discuss which methods work best when helping immigrants. |
c. | Invite Cuban immigrants from the community to serve on the centers advisory board. |
d. | Send personnel to conferences and seminars that focus on treating Hispanic immigrants. |
ANS: C
Although all of these options are good, to determine whether practice is serving the needs of the population, the nurse will need to consult the population served. This means that evidence should be applied with input from the community. For example, decisions related to the services to be offered in a nurse-managed clinic should be made with input from the clinics advisory board, which should include community leaders and consumers of the clinics services. Cuban immigrant needs may not be the same as those of Hispanic immigrants from other places such as Mexico or Spain.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 176
a. | Review policies and procedures |
b. | Review outcomes of clinical trials |
c. | Review several nursing textbooks |
d. | Review reputable sites on the Internet |
ANS: B
Research findings, knowledge from basic science, clinical knowledge, and expert opinion should be considered sources of evidence for EBP. The problem with nursing textbooks is that many are not grounded in evidence-based practice, because the concept is relatively new to the United States (as mentioned in the section of the chapter on historical perspectives of EBP). Scanning the Internet for ideas is helpful only if evidence-based practice sites are accessed, and most Internet sites are not EBP sites.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 176, 181
a. | Conducting market research to determine customer satisfaction with EBP |
b. | Eliciting opinions from nurses on how EBP will affect workload |
c. | Purchasing computers and Internet access for use by employees |
d. | Sending staff to conferences related to incorporation of EBP into practice |
ANS: C
A lack of computers and Internet access can create a barrier to implementation of EBP in community-based nursing agencies. If these are provided, nurses can quickly access current evidence-based findings and recommendations.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: p. 178
a. | Identify students who are obese so that they may be closely monitored for weight control success or failure. |
b. | Evaluate best practices to determine those that have the highest success rates for weight control in children. |
c. | Schedule physician appointments for obese children. |
d. | Develop an obesity management program for children whose body mass index exceeds normal. |
ANS: B
The first step of the seven-step EBP process is step zero, which involves a curiosity about the interventions that are being applied; this is not described in any of the topic descriptors. Step one requires asking questions in a PICOT format; this is not described in any of the topic descriptors. Step two involves searching for the best evidence to answer the question. This is done through evaluating best practices.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: p. 179
a. | A journal with a whole issue devoted to research on that clinical problem |
b. | A randomized controlled clinical trial related to that clinical problem |
c. | A researcher who has built a career on studying that clinical problem |
d. | A systematic review related to the clinical problem |
ANS: D
A systematic review is an approach to identifying, appraising, and synthesizing research evidence to evaluate and interpret all available research that is relevant to a particular research question. Systematic reviews can be accessed from most databases. Systematic reviews require more rigor and contain less opinion of the author than typical reviews of the literature.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 179
a. | Ask other school health nurses what they included in their own education programs. |
b. | Compare and contrast randomized clinical trials related to learning in elementary schoolchildren. |
c. | Develop a series of games to accompany the programs developed to promote health. |
d. | Seek out and examine health education programs for elementary school children on the Internet. |
ANS: B
Randomized clinical trials are the gold standard of evidence gathering in EBP.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 182
a. | Federally supported multiagency clinical studies |
b. | Multiple high-quality studies with large sample sizes and consistent findings |
c. | Research studies done by multidisciplinary teams in multiple settings |
d. | Controlled clinical trials |
ANS: B
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) reviewed 40 systems used to evaluate the quality of studies and strength of evidence. The report identified three domains for evaluating systems that grade the strength of evidence: quality, quantity, and consistency. The quality of a study refers to the extent to which bias is minimized. Quantity refers to the number of studies, the magnitude of the effect, and the sample size. Consistency refers to studies that have similar findings, using similar and different study designs.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 181
a. | Assessing ones current practice and accessing evidence-based resources |
b. | Convincing administration that EBP is beneficial |
c. | Distinguishing EBP from practice based on old standards |
d. | Showing clients that EBP will improve their health outcomes |
ANS: A
The first step toward implementing evidence-based practice in nursing is recognizing the current status of ones own practice and believing that care based on the best evidence will lead to improved client outcomes. The challenge for the clinician is how to access the evidence and integrate it into practice, thus moving beyond practice based solely on experience, tradition, or ritual.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 182
a. | Administrators |
b. | Insurance companies |
c. | Nurses |
d. | Physicians |
ANS: B
Much of the pressure to use evidence-based practice comes from third-party payers and is a response to the need to contain costs and reduce legal liability.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension) REF: p. 183
a. | Failure to consider client and setting differences |
b. | Inadequate incorporation of evidence into practice |
c. | Inferior quality of the available research evidence |
d. | Lack of skills when evaluating the evidence |
ANS: A
EBP cannot be applied as a universal remedy without attention to client differences. When EBP is applied at the community level, best evidence may point to a solution that is not sensitive to cultural issues and distinctions and thus may not be acceptable to the community. For example, computer games may be excellent for younger groups but are often poorly suited for older Americans who may face challenges with learning new technology.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 183
a. | Published protocols |
b. | Current research findings |
c. | Opinions of colleagues |
d. | Nursing journals |
ANS: B
EBP in community-oriented nursing challenges nurses to integrate outcomes of the best evidence into their clinical practice. Current research findings will explicate evidence of most successful interventions. (Randomized clinical trials are the gold standard of research for EBP.) Protocols and opinions often reflect tradition rather than the most current scientific evidence. Although many nursing journals are peer reviewed, many are not and, even if peer reviewed, many are not research based or focused on scientific evidence. Similarly, information from the Internet may or may not be reliable, because the goal of many websites is to sell products rather than to serve as an unbiased source. Determining when the website was last updated would also be helpful in evaluating the sites usefulness.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 183
a. | Assess the quality of the evidence in the literature. |
b. | Decide how best to orient the staff and community to the proposed changes. |
c. | Eliminate all nursing interventions that are not evidence based. |
d. | Choose another specific problem for the next literature search. |
ANS: A
After the group has chosen the topic and evaluated the literature for approaches that seem feasible, specific interventions are chosen. The quality of the evidence must be assessed before recommending specific changes or writing a protocol to resolve the problem. Grading the strength of evidence or determining the quality, quantity, and consistency of research studies must be done before making recommendations for practice.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 179
a. | Developing individualized exercise programs for overweight children |
b. | Drafting policy for increases in noncompetitive physical activity programs |
c. | Monitoring body mass index in children to identify elevations before they become difficult to manage |
d. | Notifying parents and/or guardians of their childs height-weight scale in comparison with national norms |
ANS: B
At the primary prevention level, campaigns to support regular exercise, greater emphasis on school-based physical education programs, and environmental and policy initiatives to create or enhance places for physical activity in communities can make significant contributions to improving the lifestyle of sedentary children. Exercise programs are an example of tertiary prevention. Monitoring BMI in children is an example of secondary prevention. Notifying parents of their childrens height-weight scale increases family awareness but does not meet the definition of a preventive measure.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 183
a. | Reminding clients via telephone, e-mail, or mail |
b. | Emphasizing long life and happy family when conditions are caught early and treated successfully |
c. | Pointing out how inexpensive and convenient screening tests are |
d. | Stressing the dangerousness of the condition if not caught early |
ANS: A
Client reminders and recalls via mail, telephone, or e-mailor a combination of these strategiesare effective in increasing compliance with screening activities such as those for colorectal and breast cancer.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension) REF: p. 183
a. | Eliminate all protocols and standards that are not evidence based |
b. | Encourage group reflection on the ideals and expectations of nursing care |
c. | Refer agency nurses to Internet sources of research findings |
d. | Support nurses using practice-oriented research findings in decision making |
ANS: D
EBP demands changes. It requires incorporating more practice-oriented research and more collaboration between clinicians and researchers. Emphasis should be on decision making using the varied sources of evidence. The environment and climate must be supportive in order to implement EBP.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: p. 184
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
a. | Colleagues who dont know how to search the literature or critique research |
b. | Dedication to the history and tradition of the agency |
c. | Little or no research published in the clinical area of concern |
d. | Several meta-analyses in the literature with inconsistent results |
ANS: A, C
Barriers to evidence-based practice exist when the following are limited or lacking: time, access to journal articles, search skills, critical appraisal skills, and an understanding of research terminology. Other barriers include miscommunication about the process; inferior or unavailable research or other evidence; unwillingness of organizations to fund research or make decisions based on evidence; and concern that evidence-based practice will decrease emphasis on individual client needs or the nurses clinical decisions.

Chapter 20: Health Risks Across the Life Span
Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
a. | Lobby legislators to enact stronger legislation regarding school lunches and snack machines in schools. |
b. | Increase nutrition programs in schools that teach children to make healthy food choices. |
c. | Involve the entire family in the planning and managing of nutrition, especially when a child in the family is obese. |
d. | Provide after-school and summer camps that focus on diet and exercise. |
ANS: C
Interventions need to be based on goals of lifestyle changes for the entire family. The goal is to modify the way the family eats, exercises, and plans daily activities. Although it is important to teach nutrition, exercise, and proper food choice, if the family does not, for example, prepare the proper foods from which they can choose, the knowledge of the child is insignificant.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: pp. 349, 355
a. | Accidents and injuries |
b. | AIDS |
c. | Childhood obesity |
d. | Vaccine-preventable diseases |
ANS: A
Injuries are the number one cause of death for children (and young adults up to age 21 years) in the United States. Injuries and accidents are the most important causes of preventable disease, disability, and death among children. Most are preventable. Obesity, although a significant problem, is not a common cause of death in children.

ANS: B
Motor vehiclerelated injuries and violence are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality for adolescents. Thus, this would be the greatest concern for the nurse working with high school students.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension) REF: p. 351
a. | Absolutely, it will help him recognize the cost of gas and maintenance. |
b. | Certainly. Most young men want their own car, and peer pressure can be painful. |
c. | It depends on whether you trust your son to drive safely. |
d. | No, adolescent males cannot be trusted with an automobile. |
ANS: C
Motor vehiclerelated injuries and violence are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality for adolescents. Males are more likely to take risks, and injury death rates for boys are twice as high as those for girls. Thus, the response by the nurse should take these factors into consideration in response and encourage the mother to individualize her decision for her son.

b. | Cancer screening programs |
c. | Cardiac health education programs |
d. | Exercise for life programs |
ANS: C
Heart disease is one of the most significant public health problems in the United States, responsible for premature mortality and disability. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Good nutrition and exercise programs, while both good health promotion programs, are too narrow in focus to represent the greatest need in the community. Cancer is the second leading cause of death so may be the nurses second focus.
