MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which does the nurse researcher identify as the strongest type of research?
a. Randomized controlled trials
b. A qualitative study
c. A descriptive study
d. A case controlled study
ANS: A
Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
systematic reviews and meta-analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention
against the usual standard of care. The other types of studies are useful but do not give the
same type of information as a randomized controlled trial provides.

2. What is the nurse attempting to determine when critiquing the evidence related to a PICOT
question?
a. The ethical conduct of the research the nurse read
b. The strength of the evidence found in the literature
c. If there are any experts in the clinical question needing to be researched
d. If the study demonstrates cost-effectiveness if a change in practice occurs
ANS: B
Once a literature search is complete and data are gathered about the question, it is time to
critique the evidence. Critiquing the evidence involves a systematic approach to looking at the
strength of the work reviewed and its relevance. The other questions are not applicable to
critiquing the evidence.
