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
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient
responses to care and delivery of care
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance
patient outcomes ANS: A
Evidence -based practice evolves fr om the integration of the best research
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.
