Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
According to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt et al., the first step is step 0: Cultivating a spirit of inquiry. Integrating evidence with clinical expertise is step 4. Asking clinical questions is step 1. Searching for the best evidence is step 2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Research utilization projects in the 1970s provided a guide to clinical practice. The term evi-dence-based was not used until 1992, and was first applied to medicine before it was used in nursing. There was a growing consensus in the 1970s among nursing leaders that scientific knowledge should be used as a basis for nursing practice, so there was a shift away from the practice of medicine.
