Multiple Choice
1. Which Best Describes Evidence-Based-Practice(Ebp)?
A.A Combination Of Best Research Evidence, Clinical
Expertise, And The Needs And Values Of Patients.

Patient Responses To Care. C.The Development Of
Population Care Guidelines Applicable To All Patients.

Ans: A
Feedback
Aevidence-Based Practice Evolves From The Integration
OfThe 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 DefineIt.
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.
