ACCURATE CHOICE:-A b


Reasoning:->>>Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research b b b b b b b b b


evidence with clinical expertise and hospital client needs and values. Studies that attempt
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


to find determinants ofhospital client outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-

experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a
