• Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
j j j j
a.A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and
j j j j j j j j j j j
values of patients.
j j j
b.A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses
j j j j j j j j j
to care. c.The development of population care guidelines applicable to
j j j j j j j j j j
all patients.

AEvidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research j j j j j j j j j
evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
j j j j j j j j j
BStudies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally
j j j j j j j j j j
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
completely define it.
j j j
CEBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
j j j j j j j j j j j
DQuantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient
j j j j j j j j j j
outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
