Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The Stetler Model provides a framework to facilitate the use of research evidence in practice for individual nurses or healthcare institutions. It is not this nurse's best choice.
Rationale 2: The Iowa Model provides direction for the development of an evidence-based policy in a clinical agency. This is the nurse's best choice for this activity.
Rationale 3: Cochrane is not a specific model but the person for whom the Cochrane Collaboration was named.
Rationale 4: Translational is not the name of a specific model for this work.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 3: Patient values guide the use of evidence-based practice healthcare decisions.
Rationale 4: Translational research is the study of whether evidence-based interventions result in desired outcomes.
Rationale 5: The nurse would not modify the intervention as that would make results invalid.
