MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a.
A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
and values of patients
b.
A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care
and delivery of care
c.
The development of population care g̣uidelines applicable to all patients
d.
The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
ANS: A
Evidence-based practice evolves from the integ̣ration of the best research evidence with
clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of
patient outcomes are g̣enerally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to
g̣uide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of g̣uidelines and specific
patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of
patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
