Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Randomized clinical trials are typically the gold standard for producing the best evidence. Literature reviews and descriptive research may provide ideas for the nurse to consider when looking for evidence-based topics. Research that explains phenomena is interesting, but less likely to produce best evidence practices.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Legitimate, or positional, power derives from one's formal job position or title in an organization. Expert, or knowledge, power is derived from one's expertise, talents, and skills. Reward power is derived from the perception of one's abilities to bestow rewards or favors on others. Referent, or charismatic, power is derived from an individual's own vision, sense of self, and ability to communicate these so that others regard the person with admiration and are motivated to follow.
