• Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, medical
centeral expertise, and the needs and values of
clients.
b. A determination of the factors necessary
to control client responses to care.
c. The development of population care
guidelines applicable to all clients.
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies
to enhance client outcomes. ACCURATE ANSWER:-A
