1. Which Statement Best Describes Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?
a. A Combination Of Best Research Evidence, Clinical Expertise, And The
Needs A Nd Values Of Patients
b. A Determination Of The Factors Necessary To Control Patient Responses To
Care A Nd 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 From The Integration Of The Best Research Evidence With Clinical
Expe Rtise And Patient Needs And Values. Studies That Attempt To Find Determinants Of
Patient Outc Omes Are Generally Experimental Or Quasi-
Experimental. They May Be Used To Guide EBP But Do Not Completely Define It. EBP Is
A Co Mbination 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 Completel Y Define EBP.
