available for review.
- reluctance of organizations to fund research and subsequently
make potentially costly practice changes based on the best
evidence.
Basic research Correct Answers conducted to generate theories
Beneficence Correct Answers can be defined as doing good
Body system integrity Correct Answers - Impairment of the
musculoskeletal system can restrict ROM and diminish strength,
