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.
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.
ANSWER: 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.

FEEDBACK
ACONTROL CAN BE DESCRIBED AS THE ABILITY TO WRITE A PRESCRIPTION TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED
OUTCOME.
