Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Lack of time, inferior quality of research, unwillingness of organizations to fund research, and inability to understand the evidence are all barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice. As public health departments are beginning to seek accreditation there is an increased emphasis on the use of evidence-based practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Evidence from multiple research methods has the potential to enrich the application of evidence and improve nursing practice. Qualitative and quantitative studies are both used when using mul-tiple research methods. Randomized clinical trials are difficult to accomplish in a community health setting.
