Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: p p p p p p p p p
p recurrent problemsor new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in
p p p p p p p p p p
p urinary tract infections indicates a trend or recurring problem in a specific group
p p p p p p p p p p p p
p of patients. The other questions are general information questions, not based on
p p p p p p p p p p p
p what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an area or
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
p relating to an observed trend. p p p p
