1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
VG VG VG VG VG VG
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the need
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG

Evidence-
based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of pa
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
tient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-
VG VG VG VG VG VG
experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP i
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
s a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and q
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
ualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
VGnot completely define EBP.

3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG V

situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
probability of predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a
VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG VG
prescribed intervention to produce the desired results. Description involves identifying a
