MULTIPLE CHOICE g




1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
g g g g g g



a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
g g g g g g g g g g



andvalues of hospital clients
g g g g g



b. A determination of the factors necessary to control hospital client responses to
g g g g g g g g g g g



g care anddelivery of care g g g g



c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all hospital clients
g g g g g g g g g g



d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance hospital client outcomes
g g g g g g g g g g g




ACCURATE CHOICE:-A g



Reasoning:->>>Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best g g g g g g g g



researchevidence with clinical expertise and hospital client needs and values. Studies that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g



attempt to find determinants ofhospital client outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-
g g g g g g g g g g g g



experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



combination of guidelines and specifichospital client needs and values. Quantitative and
g g g g g g g g g g g



qualitative studies appliedto the evaluation of hospital client outcomes are part of EBP but
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



do not completely define EBP.

d. Prediction
ACCURATE CHOICE:-D g

, Reasoning:->>>Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated g g g g g g g g g g



in a given situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



the probability of predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g



prescribed intervention to produce the desired results. Description involvesidentifying

phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
g g g g g g g g g g



certain events occur.
