Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a guide for nurses to structure how to make appropriate, timely, and effective clinical decisions. A textbook relies on the scientific literature, which may be outdated by the time the book is published. Unfortunately, much of the best evidence never reaches the bedside. EBP is not to be blindly applied without using good judgment and critical thinking skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
When nursing incorporates psychosocial theories into nursing practice, the nurse strives to meet the physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual needs of patients. Cognitive needs of the patient are included in educational theories.
