Perry Et Al.: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 10th Edition
MULMULTIPLETIPL CE
1. Evidence-Based Practice Is A Problem-Solving Approach To Making Decisions About Patient Care
That Is Grounded In:
A. The Latest Information Found In Textbooks.

C. Tradition In Clinical Practice.
D. Quality Improvement And Risk-Management Data.

Improvement And Risk-Management Data; Infection Control Data; Retrospective Or Concurrent Chart
Reviews; And Clinicians‘ Expertise. Although Non–Research-Based Evidence Is Often Very Valuable, It Is
Important That You Learn To Rely More On Research-Based Evidence.
