The nurse wants to search for articles having to do with a client care problem. Which database should the nurse use to find this information?
1. CINAHL
2. Google
3. ERIC
4. PsychINFO
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) focuses on nursing and allied health articles, including research. In this database, the user can search systematically for articles that are related to nursing research, peer reviewed, published, and so on.
Rationale 2: Google search engine gives a variety of sites, both health-related and non-health-related, but there are no controls for accuracy with this database.
Rationale 3: The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) would include all areas of academia, not just nursing.
Rationale 4: PsychINFO includes only psychological abstracts.
