  1. Intuition
  2. Personal clinical experience
  3. Knowledge from nursing school

  remains unsolved.
  4. Circulate a petition to all staff seeking support for change in assignment policy.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Intuition is not based in research and is not evidence based.
Rationale 2: Clinical experience is useful when integrated with evidence-based practice but is not considered evidence based when used alone.
Rationale 3: Knowledge from nursing school is very useful in client care but can become outdated if the nurse does not continually update that knowledge.
Rationale 4: Current research is a good source of evidence-based practice strategies.
