Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Systematically searching all relevant research on a clinical question is important for the nurse. The evidence can be disseminated in a variety of reviews. Systematic or integrative reviews compile all research studies and summarize the problem or situation in the Cochrane Collaboration. Scoping reviews are conducted to discover new evidence on a subject, types of evidence available in a specific area of inquiry, or to determine missing areas in a body of literature. Meta-analysis is a statistical method to combine results of multiple smaller research studies to increase the statistical power of the overall findings. Evidence-based practice is a conscientious, problem-solving approach to clinical practice that incorporates the best evidence from well-designed studies, patient values and preferences, and a clinician's expertise in making decisions about a patient's care.
