, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78

78 78 78 78 78 78
