Feedback
AEvidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with
v v v v v v v v v v v


clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
v v v v v v v


BStudies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or
v v v v v v v v v v v v


quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


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
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


EBP but do not completely define EBP.
