Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between research utilization and evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP)?

  • Research utilization focuses on implementing findings from specific research studies, while EBNP involves searching for the best evidence to use in nursing practice. (correct)
  • Research utilization uses intuition as a source of knowledge, while EBNP relies on clinical experience.
  • Research utilization is a broader process, while EBNP focuses on specific research findings.
  • Research utilization emphasizes custom and culture, while EBNP relies on authority as a source of knowledge.

What is a limitation of tradition and authority as alternative sources of evidence?
