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

ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne




ACCURATE CHOICE:-A ne



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



researchevidence with clinical expertise and hospital client needs and values. Studies
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



that attempt to find determinants ofhospital client outcomes are generally experimental
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it.
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



EBP is a combination of guidelines and specifichospital client needs and values.
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



Quantitative and qualitative studies appliedto the evaluation of hospital client outcomes
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

ACCURATE CHOICE:-D ne

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



estimated in a given situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



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