Which of the following statements defines evidence-based
practice (EBP)?
"It is the collection, interpretation, and integration of valid
research evidence combined with clinical practice and
understanding of the patient and family".
"It is the systematic, rigorous, logical investigation that
aims to answer questions about nursing phenomena".
"It is the empirical knowledge generated by the synthesis
of quality study findings to address a practice problem".
"It is the process of communicating and using empirical or
research-generated knowledge to affect or change the
existing practices in the healthcare sys - Answer-1
This is the correct option because the statement includes
the processes that are required for EBP. It is more than

Which type of research literature would be included in grey
