Hospital administrators are applying the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) in their attempt to ascertain the most efficient and effective way to communicate
between nurses who
are on different units, a project that will consider many types of evidence. Which of the
following information sources should the administrators prioritize?
A) A systematic review about communication in nursing contexts
B) Nurses' ideas about communication methods
C) The results of a chart review
D) The hospital's accreditation status
Ans: A
Systematic reviews are assigned a high value in EBP. Reviews would be prioritized
over nurses' ideas or a chart review, though both are potential considerations. The hospital's
accreditation status is not a relevant consideration.
