Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Lack of interest on the part of nurses is not a reason EBP is not used.
Rationale 2: Lack of time is a barrier to using EBP that is consistent across settings.
Rationale 3: The need for autonomy over the nurse's own practice can be a barrier to using EBP.
Rationale 4: Inability to find and assess evidence is a barrier to using EBP.
Rationale 5: Lack of support from administration is a barrier to using EBP.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. The normative decision-making model is a series of steps that managers take to make logical,
rational choices that maximize the achievement of successful outcomes. The premise of the
political decision-making model is that the power for decision making is held by individuals
who assume positions of power or authority. Experimentation involves the use of a pilot
project to test the effectiveness of a solution. The trial-and-error method is used by
inexperienced managers and involves the application of one solution after another to improve
a problem.
