ACCURATE CHOICE:-A n1



Reasoning:->>>Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



researchevidence with clinical expertise and hospital client needs and values. Studies
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



that attempt to find determinants ofhospital client outcomes are generally experimental
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
