the needs and values of clients.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control client

evidence with medical centeral expertise and client needs and values.
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
B Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are generally
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
completely define it.
j1 j1 j1
C EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific client needs and values.

D Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of client
j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1 j1
