,Chapter 01: Introduction to Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice
1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values of
patients
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and delivery
of care
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
ACTUAL ANSWER: A
Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with
clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of
patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to
guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific
patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of
patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger
research study. Which research method will the nurse use when collecting data for this study?a.

ACTUAL ANSWER: B
Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a
prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a
, specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.

3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obese
adults whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being used in
this study?
a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ACTUAL ANSWER: D
Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given
situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the
probability of predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a
prescribed intervention to produce the desired results. Description involves identifying and
understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among these
phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
certain events occur.
4. The nurse reviews a study in which adherence to an asthma action plan is compared among
groups of young adults who received different asthma education. Which research method does

b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ACTUAL ANSWER: C
Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events
occur. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired
results. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena
and the relationships among these phenomena. Through prediction, the probability of a
specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
