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

buildnew evidence.
zx zx zx
b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
trialand error.zx zx zx
c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
nursingresearch studies. zx zx
d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
