c. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.
d. EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the clinicians experience.
ANS: C The patients own preferences are not important with EBP.
EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with the
clinicians experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions about care and
treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and questioning
tradition is important when no compelling and supportive research evidence exists.
