ANS: A
Evidence-
based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expert
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcome
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x


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

bination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative stu
