Question

a nurse is asked to join a team that follows a systematic process for encouraging evidence-based practice at his hospital. The nurse's team addresses specific problems at the hospital by collecting and synthesizing research evidence from the literature, initiating changes based upon the research literature, and then evaluating the effectiveness of the changes. the best description of the nurse's team's approach is the ____

1. PICOT method of asking research questions

2. IOWA Model of Evidence-Based Practice

3. Multidisciplinary Evidence-Based Practice Model

4. Stetler Model of Research Utilization

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 2. IOWA Model of Evidence Based practice

The IOWA model is based on research and other theoretical form of evidence to support the research literature. This model utilizes research , standardized language and also the change theory. IOWA model is linked to quality assurance .
