Replicability - answer✔Evidence is built on research findings. Findings can only be verified if
they can be repeated. If other researchers are unable to achieve the same results using the
same methodology as the original study, the evidence presented by that study is called into
question.
Reliability - answer✔Evidence must also be consistently and accurately measured.2 Even
clinical experience, as a form of evidence, demonstrates that the same treatment applied to
similar patients over time leads to similar outcomes
Validity - answer✔For evidence to be valid, it must successfully measure what the study set out
to measure. The definition of validity is producing the desired result, effective, sound.
Grade A - answer✔Strongly Recommends
- There is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial.
Grade B - answer✔Recommends
-There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty
that the net benefit is moderate to substantial.
Grade C - answer✔No recommendation for or against. there may be considerations that
support providing the intervention in an individual patient but not for the general population.
There is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small.
Grade D - answer✔Recommends Against
-There is moderate or high certainty that the intervention has no net benefit or that the harms
outweigh the benefits.
I Statement - answer✔Insufficient evidence to recommend for or against. The current evidence
is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of service. Evidence is lacking of poor
quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined.
Quantitative Research - answer✔"focused on the testing of a hypothesis through objective
observation and validation"
Gold standard for quantitative research - answer✔Randomized controlled double-blind studies
Finding solutions to practice questions or problems - answer✔1. Develop an answerable
question.
2. Search the literature to uncover evidence to answer the question.
3. Evaluate the evidence found.
4. Apply the evidence to the practice situation.
5. Evaluate the outcome.
Patient-centered care - answer✔Recognize the patient or designee as the source of control and
full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient's
preferences, values, and needs.
Teamwork and Collaboration - answer✔Function effectively within nursing and inter-
professional teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-
making to achieve quality patient care.
Evidence-based Practice - answer✔integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and
patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care
Quality Improvement - answer✔Use data to monitor the outcomes of care processes and use
improvement methods to design and test changes to continuously improve the quality and
safety of health care systems.
Safety - answer✔Minimize risk of harm to patients and providers through both system
effectiveness and individual performance.
Informatics - answer✔use information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge,
mitigate error, and support decision making
Accountability - answer✔to be answerable to oneself and others for one's own actions
Assignement - answer✔no transfer of authority occurs. Instead, assignments are a bureaucratic
function that reflect job descriptions and client or organizational needs.
