Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
It would be during step 5 of the EBP process, assessing the effectiveness of the decision, intervention, or advice, that the nurse would determine whether a specific feeding time (an intervention) is effective in alleviating the patient's gastric reflux symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Some EBP models recommend a formal assessment of organizational fit, often called implementation potential (or, environmental readiness). In determining the implementation potential of an innovation in a particular setting, several issues should be considered, particularly the transferability of the innovation (i.e., the extent to which the innovation might be appropriate in new settings), the feasibility of implementing it, and its cost-benefit ratio.
