The student nurse is doing a literature review on evidence-based practice (EBP). Which of the following demonstrates the student's understanding of EBP?
1. Presenting a paper about EBP
2. Repositioning a client at risk for skin breakdown every 2 hours
3. Explaining EBP to fellow students
4. Trying to find other problems to implement EBP
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.
