Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Completing a literature review on the topic will provide information on possible guidelines already established and a broad baseline of previous scientific work on the topic.
Support from all health care personnel involved will be important, but is not a first step.
Without a literature review, it would be hard to implement a research use project.
It would be useful to go to the National Guideline Clearinghouse web site, but premature to write them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
BSN graduates are prepared to become informed consumers of nursing research and evidence-based practice, so reviewing literature related to the types of patients they see each day is a prime method to assist BSN-prepared nurses to develop an evidence-based practice.
Subscribing to journals that describe relevant evidence-based research issues is a prime method to assist BSN-prepared nurses to develop an evidence-based practice.
Submitting grant proposals is the role of nurses with more education and experience.
Writing a report does not in and of itself demonstrate an evidence-based practice.
