4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
t t t t t t t t t t t
EBP?
t

generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single t t t t t t t t t t
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to

care. t
