Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Several models of EBP, such as the Iowa Model, have distinguished two types of stimulus (triggers) for an EBP endeavor(1) problem-focused triggersthe identification of a clinical practice problem in need of solution, or (2) knowledge-focused triggersreadings in the research literature. A report in a medical journal regarding a potential flu epidemic is an example of a reading in a research literature, and thus would be a knowledge-focused trigger. The other answers are examples of problem-focused triggers.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: In this form of observation, the observer openly identifies that she or he is conducting research and provides subjects with information about the types of data that will be collected.
Rationale 2: In this form of observation, the observer does not interact with the subjects and does not inform them that the observation is taking place.
Rationale 3: This observer becomes involved with the subjects who are fully aware of the observation.
Rationale 4: This observer is involved with the participants, but observes the behavior without their knowledge.
