The nurse is a member of the quality improvement committee within a healthcare organization. What action indicates that the information from this committee is being used to support evidence-based practice?
1. Quality improvement indicators address the largest volume of patient safety hazards.
2. Outcomes from quality improvement studies supersede patient preferences and values.
3. Committee participants support the use of evidence-based practice when planning patient care.
4. Results from quality improvement studies are being used as internal evidence for interventions.
Correct Answer: 4
Internal evidence is derived from quality improvement evaluations. Addressing the largest volume of patient safety hazards, using outcomes to supersede patient preferences, or personal opinions regarding the use of evidence-based practice do not indicate that the information from the committee is being used to support evidence-based practice
