Exam 1: What Is Evidence-Based Practice

Animal studies provide conclusive data because these models usually have a physiological corollary to humans and can be used for the foundation to build future research.

Original research can only be synthesized by researchers.

An example of filtered information is systematic reviews.

Rank the levels of evidence from the bottom of the pyramid (10) to the top (1). __________ case-series __________ all-or-none __________ outcomes research __________ systematic review of randomized controlled trials __________ systematic review of single case-control study __________ systematic review of cohort studies __________ individual randomized controlled studies __________ individual cohort study __________ single case-control study __________ expert opinion and bench research

Ecological research, like other forms of epidemiological research, focuses on individuals and disease rates.

Primary studies is an example of filtered information.

What is the difference between all-or-none studies and case-series studies? Select all that apply.

What are the reasons why randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are not commonly found in exercise science and health literature? Select all that apply.

A unique feature of the strength of taxonomy is that it focuses on disease-oriented evidence.

Which is NOT a reason why a systematic review is the highest sublevel in levels 1, 2, and 3 in the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine's evidence pyramid?

When trying to decide which is the best flexibility program for a pregnant client, choose the program based on the evidence from an individual cohort study over that from outcomes research.

What are the reasons secondary studies are considered to provide stronger evidence when compared with primary studies? Select all that apply.

Measures that focus on the qualities or aspects of the disease, are collected by a clinician, and help with the understanding of the current state of the disease are called ________________.

Systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials are considered higher level evidence because researchers have control over recruitment of subjects and collection of their data.

Physiological evidence and bench research are both a type of ___________.

A letter grade assigned to groups of existing studies that address an important clinical problem by using patient-oriented measures is called _______________________________.

Which is NOT a criterion that the strength of recommendation taxonomy emphasizes for groups of studies?

What are the reasons that randomized controlled studies are higher than cohort studies in the evidence-based pyramid? Select all that apply.

Levels of evidence are used as a quick reference to determine the strength of the research.

What are the pros of using expert opinion evidence for your practice? Select all that apply.
