Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4
Rationale 1: One of the barriers to EBP is the inadequate numbers of research studies from clinical trials that have compared patient outcomes from new strategies with care as it was previously provided.
Rationale 2: Learning more about evaluating clinical studies is a facilitator of this process, not a barrier.
Rationale 3: Some nurses wonder why it is important to investigate interventions that have been used successfully for many years. This is a barrier to EBP.
Rationale 4: Lack of time to devote to EBP is a common barrier.
Rationale 5: Learning more about searching the internet is a facilitator of EBP.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 4: The nurse who is committed to improvement of patient care is a good candidate for this position.
