MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which Statement Best Describes Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?
A. A Combination Of Best Research Evidence, Clinical Expertise, And The
Needs And Values Of Patients

Evidence With Clinical Expertise And Patient Needs And Values. Studies That
Attempt To Find Determinants Of Patient Outcomes Are Generally Experimental
Or Quasi-Experimental. They May Be Used To Guide EBP But Do Not Completely
Define It. EBP Is A Combination Of Guidelines And Specific Patient Needs And
Values. Quantitative And Qualitative Studies Applied To The Evaluation Of
Patient Outcomes Are Part Of EBP But Do Not Completely Define EBP.
