Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The literature should be searched before applying the result to clinical practice. Formulating a searchable question is the first step in the process. The literature should be searched before applying the result to clinical practice and evaluating the outcomes of applied evidence.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

It is important to measure outcomes to determine the impact of EBP change. Reviewing the plan of care, strategizing actions to delegate, or identifying the use of pain medication will not help the nurse determine if evidence-based interventions were successful.
