Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Conducting a literature review is a little bit like doing a full-fledged study: a reviewer must start with a question, such as an EBP question (Chapter 2) or a question for a new study (Chapter 6). The reviewer then must gather, analyze, and interpret the information, and summarize the findings in a written product. Selecting a bibliographic database and specifying the medical subject headings to use are later steps in the process. Using common Internet search engines such as Google or Yahoo is not recommended for nursing research, as they tend to provide far too many irrelevant hits.

Answer to Question 2

B
