SOLVED1881

A nurse in a medical intensive care unit is conducting and EBP project on preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The nurse locates a randomized placebo-controlled trial measuring the effectiveness of a novel pharmacologic treatment of VTE in acutely ill medical patients. Among those who received treatment, the incidence of symptomatic VTE was 0.93% in the treatment group and 1.33% in the placebo group, with a relative risk reduction of 30% (RR. 0.70; 95% CI. 0/36 to 1.35). What is the nurse’s best interpretation of these findings? The novel pharmacologic treatment is worse than the placebo. The risk of VTE from the novel pharmacologic treatment was decreased though the results may not be reliably achieved (wide CI). The risk of a negative outcome from the novel pharmacologic treatment is increased; the treatment is likely to do harm. The results of the study are valid and reliable.
