The nurse is interested in researching a topic of interest in clinical nursing practice. What options are most suitable for researching existing information?

  1. Consulting a textbook, Interviewing a specialist

  2. Interviewing a specialist, Online websites, Professional databases

  3. Consulting with colleagues, Reviewing patient notes

  4. Visiting libraries, Reading news articles

The correct answer is: Interviewing a specialist, Online websites, Professional databases

Option B is the correct answer because interviewing a specialist, using online websites, and professional databases are effective ways to access existing information for research in nursing practice. Interviewing a specialist allows the nurse to gather insights and expertise directly from an individual with relevant knowledge and experience. Online websites and professional databases provide access to a wide range of current and evidence-based information that can support the research process. Options A, C, and D are not as suitable for researching existing information. Consulting a textbook, consulting with colleagues, reviewing patient notes, visiting libraries, and reading news articles may provide some information but are not as comprehensive or reliable as conducting interviews with specialists and utilizing online resources and databases.
