MULTIPLE CHOICE
• Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, medical centeral expertise, and
the needs and values of clients.
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control client
responses to care.
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all
clients.
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance client outcomes.
ACCURATE ANSWER:-A
REASONING:
A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with medical centeral expertise and client needs and values.
B Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are generally
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
completely define it.
C EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific client needs and values. D
Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of client
outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
