Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources:
recurrent problemsor new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in
urinary tract infections indicates a trend or recurring problem in a specific
group of patients. The other questions are general information questions, not

a. MEDLINE
b. CINAHL
c. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
d. The National Guideline Clearinghouse
