4. Which |of |the |following |best |describes |the |difference |between |research |utilization |and
|EBP?
a. Research |utilization |is |a |process |of |evaluating |multiple |studies |for |the |most
|generalizable |findings; |EBP |is |use |of |the |most |recent |study |on |a |topic.
, b. Research |utilization |involves |changing |practice |based |on |findings |of |a |single
|research |study; |EBP |is |the |syntheses |of |findings |from |multiple |studies |to
|incorporate |with |practitioner |skills |and |client |preference |to |determine |best
|care.
c. Research |utilization |is |the |application |of |research |findings |to |health |care |practice;
|EBP |is |considered |in |selecting |medication |options.

|research |studies.
d. All |evidence |is |equally |important |to |the |practice |of |nursing.
