Evidence-
based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expe
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


rtise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outc
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


omes are generally experimental or quasi-
xx xx xx xx xx


experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a co
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


mbination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completel
