16 Questions
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.
What is a limitation of tradition and authority as alternative sources of evidence?
They are accepted as truths based on custom and culture, without being evidence-based.
Why is clinical experience considered as a limited source of knowledge?
It is often inefficient and may be too narrow with bias.
What is a drawback of using trial and error as a source of knowledge?
It may be practical in some cases but is often inefficient.
Why is intuition considered a type of knowledge that cannot be explained on the basis of reasoning?
It cannot be explained on the basis of reasoning.
What is the goal of research utilization in nursing practice?
To implement findings from specific research studies.
What is inductive reasoning?
Developing generalizations from specific observations
What is deductive reasoning?
Developing specific predictions from general principles
