Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care d d d d d d d d d d d d d
decisions. It applies to all types of health care professionals. Currently there is no method that

can ensure that all patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a

infections on the older adult care unit?
d d d d d d d
ANS: D d
Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problems or d d d d d d d d d d d d
new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
or recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general

information questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of

specific patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.

Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
