Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The best answer is implementing interventions based on scientific research. Using results of a literature search to a PICOT question can help a nurse decide which interventions to use. Practicing based on evidence presented in court is incorrect. Practice is based on current research. Using standardized care plans may be one example of evidence-based practice, but it is not used on all patients. The nurse must be careful in using standardized care plans to ensure that each patient's plan of care is still individualized. Planning care based on tradition is incorrect because nursing care should be based on current research.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Collaborative interventions, or interdependent interventions, are therapies that require the combined knowledge, skill, and expertise of multiple health care professionals. Health care provider-initiated (HCP) interventions are dependent nursing interventions, or actions that require an order from the HCP. Nurse-initiated interventions are the independent nursing interventions, or actions that a nurse initiates without supervision or direction from others.
