Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The more focused the question is, the easier it becomes to search for evidence in the scientific literature. The PICO format allows the nurse to ask focused questions that are intervention based. Inappropriately formed questions (general search or broad question) will likely lead to irrelevant sources of information. It is not beneficial to read hundreds of articles. It is more beneficial to read the best four to six articles that specifically address the question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Even when the best evidence available is used, application and outcomes will differ based on patient values, preferences, concerns, and/or expectations. Nurses often care for patients on the basis of tradition or convenience. Although these sources have value, it is important to learn to rely more on research evidence than on nonresearch evidence. Evidence-based care improves quality, safety, patient outcomes, and nurse satisfaction while reducing costs.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
