multiple choice
1. which statement best describes evidence-based practice (ebp)?
a. a combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
and values of patients
b. a determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to
care and delivery of care
c. the development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. the utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient
outcomes
ANSWER>a
evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values. studies that
attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or
quasi-experimental. they may be used to guide ebp but do not completely define
it. ebp is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient
outcomes are part of ebp but do not completely define ebp.

2. the nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies
as part of a larger research study. which research method will the nurse use
