The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r 2.r
described in scientific journals. Portions ofa textbookoften become outdated by the time it is

d. accept standard clinicalroutines. 2.r 2.r 2.r

The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the scientific
