health care delivery, with consideration of individual needs and preferences
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
and the clinical expertise of the provider.
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk

Difference between research utilization and EBP (pp. 4-5)
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
4. Which ofthe following best describes the difference between research utilization and
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
EBP?
jk
a. Research utilization is a process ofevaluating multiple studies for the most jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
care. jk
c. Research utilization is the application ofresearch findings to health care practice; jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual

situations. jk

research studies. jk jk
