Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

In evidence-based practice, the nurse integrates research findings with clinical experience, the client's preferences, and available resources in planning and implementing care. Evidence-based practice would support frequent repositioning to prevent skin breakdown in an at-risk client, demonstrating that this student is able to incorporate research into practice. Presenting papers about assessment or explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned. Trying to find other problems to implement does not demonstrate that the nurse understands the benefits of EBP.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The nurse is distressed because of personal values, which are in conflict with causing the client's death. The decision is within ethical principles. Cultural values are not in evidenced in this instance. Extubating this client would not be a legal decision.
