MULTIPLE CHOICE
• Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a.A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
and values of patients.
b.A determination of the factors necessary to control patient
responses to care. c.The development of population care guidelines
applicable to all patients.
d.The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes.
ANS: A
Feedback
AEvidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
BStudies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
completely define it.
CEBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
DQuantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient
outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

AControl can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired outcome.
B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing
phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena.
C Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
certain events occur.
D Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.

DThrough prediction the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a
given situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were
obese, the probability of predicting this may be calculated.
