• 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.
