Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

When ensuring the scientific value of an evidence-based intervention, the nurse is making sure that the activity is worth doing to be ethical. Maximizing the utilization of resources, ensuring actions are applied at the global level, and guaranteeing that the patient will not have an untoward effect are not actions to determine scientific value.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

EBP is meant to be applied at the local level; it is not to be generalized like research. Clinical expertise, individualized patient situations, and researching data are components of EBP.
