• Ẉhich best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, medical centeral
eẋpertise, 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 ANSẈER:-A
REASONING:
A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the
best research evidence ẉith medical centeral eẋpertise and
client needs and values.
B Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are
generally eẋperimental or quasi-eẋperimental. 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.
