The problem statement can be addressed by analyzing two of the seven survey questions that ask the nurses to rate the implementation of EBP in their hospital unit:

The online survey was offered to all registered nurses employed by the hospital. A total of 854 nurses were invited to participate. The survey includes seven rating questions that pertain to excellence in EBP. The nurses were asked to rate each of these questions on a five-point Likert scale. The responses for these seven questions and participant demographics are contained in the file EBP_Survey_Responses2.jmp. Data definitions are given at the end of this case. A copy of the complete survey can be found in the online resources that accompany this book.
