Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research, and to base their practice on evidence from researchthat is, to adopt an evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP, broadly defined, is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions. Experience, intuition, and authority are not wholly ignored in the EBP process, but research is a priority.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Although this is important knowledge for critiquing the study, it is not the most important question given the scenario presented.
Rationale 2: This is an important consideration, but is probably not the most important question given the scenario presented.
Rationale 3: This is the most important question at this point. What happened to the other eight study participants? Were their data presented in some analysis and not in others? Why did they drop out?
Rationale 4: This could be an important question, but not as important as how the researcher is handling the dropout.
