Answer to Question 1

B
Evidence-based practice is an approach that uses firm scientific data rather than anecdote, tradition, intuition, or folklore in making decisions about medical and nursing practice. In nursing, it includes blending clinical judgment and expertise with the best available research evidence and patient characteristics and preferences. A tool developed by a healthcare organization is usually in the form of a clinical pathway. These pathways are usually written per research evidence but not always.

Answer to Question 2

B
Direct-care interventions are performed through interactions with the client. Examples are physical care, emotional support, and teaching. An indirect-care intervention is an activity performed away from the client on behalf of the client. Indirect-care interventions include consulting with other healthcare team members, making referrals, advocating, and managing the environment.
