Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When implementing an evidence-based practice project, it is important to first review evidence from appropriate research and quality improvement data. Inductive reasoning is used to develop generalizations or theories from specific observations; this study needs specifics. Informed consent is not data but a process and form that subjects must sign before participating in research projects/studies. Biased data is based on opinions; facts are needed for this study.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Similar to the expected outcomes you develop in a plan of care, a care delivery outcome focuses on the recipients of service (e.g., patient, family, or community) and not the providers (e.g., nurse or physician/health care provider). Administrators are not recipients of service.
