Evidence-
based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical e
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
pertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd w
doutcomes are generally e perimental or quasi-
wd wd wd wd wd wd
e perimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a
z wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualita
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
tive studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not co
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
mpletely define EBP. wd wd
