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

ANS: B
Feedback
VE
A Control can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the
desired outcome.
B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing
phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena.
