EBP? xg/
a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
single research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
determine best care.
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
practice; EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
situations. xg/ xg/

5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
build new evidence. xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
trial and error. xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-nursing
xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/ xg/
research studies. xg/ xg/ xg/
d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
