Which of the following would be considered level 1 research evidence when evaluating evidence for the establishment of IV site care and maintenance for a medical-surgical unit?
 
  a. Case study review of dressings used at a similar-sized hospital
  b. Expert opinion of best dressings used in hospital settings
  c. Quasi-experimental study evaluating types of dressings used at selected hospitals
  d. Randomized clinical trial study conducted on types of dressings used in hospital settings

Question 2

The main purpose of leveling or reviewing research evidence in the establishment of evidence-based guidelines is to:
 
  a. critique the usefulness of the research in expanding knowledge.
  b. develop guidelines for providing care to clients.
  c. generate new nursing research projects.
  d. review research methods for appropriateness within a research report.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Randomized clinical trials (RCT) provide the strongest evidence for establishing evidence-based practice guidelines because of the strength of the research process.
Case studies provide neither the same rigor in the process nor generalizable results.
Expert opinion provides the lowest level of strength because it is not a conducted study.
Quasi-experimental studies often lack randomization and have limited generalizability of results.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The main purpose of leveling research evidence in the establishment of evidence-based practice guidelines is to develop standard guidelines for providing care to clients that are based on the strongest evidence known, to improve the quality of care.
The purpose of a critique of a research article is to establish usefulness in one's particular practice.
This would be a potential offshoot of research evidence review; it is not the main purpose.
The purpose of a peer review before publication is to see that the establishment of the stated purpose or aim of the research was achieved.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
