,1. In the hospital where Nurse L. provides care, tradition dictates that oral temperatures be

B) Practice that lacks evidence to support its application
C) The integration of personal expertise into nursing care
D) Evidence-based practice
2. The clinical nurse educator (CNE) on a postsurgical unit has recently completed a

B) Research utilization
C) Experience
D) Internal evidence

B) “Personal experience is often more sound than formal evidence-based practice.”
C) “Traditional practice and EBP are usually shown to be the same.”
D) “My years of experience can be just as valuable as any literature review or

A) EBP provides for the most cost-effective patient care.
