4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
n n n n n n n n n n n
EBP?
n

n n n n n n n n n n n n n
, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single n n n n n n n n n n
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to

incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best

care. n
c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care practice; n n n n n n n n n n n
