Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources: recurrent problemsor
new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend or
recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general information
questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an
area or relating to an observed trend.
