4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization
m m m m m m m m m m



andEBP?
m m



a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the
m m m m m m m m m m



mostgeneralizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m



topic. m

, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a
m m m m m m m m m



singleresearch study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
m m m m m m m m m m m



studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
m m m m m m m m m m



determine best care.
m m m



c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care
m m m m m m m m m m



practice;EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
m m m m m m m m
