ACCURATE ANSWER:-A
n1 n1




REASONING:
A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



evidence with medical centeral expertise and client needs and values.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are generally
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



completely define it.
n1 n1 n1



C EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific client needs and values.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



client outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

study? n1



a.Control n1



b.Description n1



c.explanation n1



d.Prediction

ACCURATE ANSWER:-B n1




REASONING:
AControl can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired outcome.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



C Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



certain events occur.
n1 n1 n1



D Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

why certain events occur.
n1 n1 n1 n1



DThrough prediction the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a given situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



were obese, the probability of predicting this may be calculated.
