Practice Question
A charge nurse is discussing evidence-based practice (EBP) with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following information should the nurse include when discussing the hierarchy of evidence?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Level I evidence is considered to be the best evidence to support EBP
Rationale:
📘 Level I evidence represents the highest quality in the hierarchy of evidence and includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
📘 This level is considered the gold standard because it synthesizes multiple well-designed studies to provide reliable and generalizable conclusions.
📘 It serves as the strongest foundation for making clinical decisions and developing evidence-based guidelines.
📘 Lower levels (e.g., expert opinion or qualitative studies) are valuable but less rigorous than Level I.
