Feedback
Aevidence-Based Practice Evolves From The Integration Of The Best
Research Evidence With Clinical Expertise And Patient Needs And Values.
Bstudies That Attempt To Find Determinants Of Patient Outcomes Are Generally
Experimental Or Quasi-Experimental. They May Be Used To Guide Ebp But Do
Not Completely Define It.
Cebp Is A Combination Of Guidelines And Specific Patient Needs And
Values. Dquantitative And Qualitative Studies Applied To The
Evaluation Of Patient Outcomes Are Part Of Ebp But Do Not Completely
