  2. Can the manager find two or more research studies that support the use of the intervention?
  3. Is the intervention one that the manager has seen used in the past?
  4. Are the authors of the research articles well-known experts in the field?

Answer to Question 1

2,5
Rationale 1: The size of the hospital is not significant in selecting evidence-based practice interventions.
Rationale 2: Evidence-based practice is most reliable when more than one study has confirmed the results.
Rationale 3: Many evidence-based practice interventions are new, and the manager may have no previous knowledge about them.
Rationale 4: While the manager must be certain the articles are from reputable sources, research is not limited to those who are already known in the field.
Rationale 5: The research on which evidence-based practice is based must be rigorous in design and must have been executed according to its design.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Metacommunications are nonverbal messages conveyed by body language and environmental
factors. Intrasender conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an
intended message due to disparity between verbal and nonverbal communication. Fogging is a
communication technique in which one partially agrees with what was said. Intersender
conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an intended message due to
disparity between different sources.
