Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an approach to health care that realizes that pathophysiologic reasoning and personal experience are necessary, but not sufficient for making decisions. Advocates argue that medical decisions should be based, as much as possible, on a firm foundation of high-grade scientific evidence, rather than on experience or opinion. Its practice involves integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external evidence from systematic research. Nursing research aims to gain solutions to problems, learn about a specific problem, or to understand a situation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
MedLine is a highly reputable online database of nursing information. The Internet is continuously growing as a resource for nursing research and has developed into a sophisticated tool for information retrieval, as well as research for the general public and for nursing and health professionals. Hundreds of sites are available through the World Wide Web. However, not all websites that provide nursing information are reliable.
