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.
