MULTIPLE CHOICE
• Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, medical centeral expertise, and
the needs and values of clients.
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control client
responses to care.
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all
clients.
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance client outcomes.
ACCURATE ANSWER:-A
REASONING:
A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with medical centeral expertise and client needs and values.
B Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are generally
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
compleṫely define iṫ.
C EBP is a combinaṫion of guidelines and specific clienṫ needs and values. D
Quanṫiṫaṫive and qualiṫaṫive sṫudies applied ṫo ṫhe evaluaṫion of clienṫ
ouṫcomes are parṫ of EBP buṫ do noṫ compleṫely define EBP.
