Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: All nurses, including new graduates, could help to identify clinical problems in direct client care.
Rationale 2: Nurse managers would most likely use research findings to develop policies and procedures and may not necessarily have an advanced degree.
Rationale 3: The nurse practitioner, having a graduate-level education as well as prior nursing experience, would most likely be analyzing and interpreting research for application.
Rationale 4: All nurses, including new graduates, could participate in data collection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Presenting papers or explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned.
Rationale 2: In evidence-based practice, the nurse integrates research findings with clinical experience, the client's preferences, and available resources in planning and implementing care. Evidence-based practice would support frequent repositioning to prevent skin breakdown in an at-risk client, demonstrating that this student is able to incorporate research into practice.
Rationale 3: Explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned.
Rationale 4: Attempting to find other problems to implement EBP does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned.
