Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a guide for nurses to structure how to make accurate, timely, and appropriate clinical decisions. A textbook relies on the scientific literature, which is often outdated by the time the book is published and is not the most reliable source for EBP. Unfortunately, most of the best information in evidence never reaches the bedside. EBP is not to be blindly applied without using good judgment and critical thinking skills. It is not appropriate for all settings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although the nursing process is central to nursing, it is not a theory. It provides a systematic process for the delivery of nursing care. Theory generates nursing knowledge for use in practice. An interdisciplinary theory explains a systematic view of a phenomenon specific to the discipline of inquiry. Feedback serves to inform a system about how it functions.
