1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
dr dr dr dr dr dr


a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


dr andvalues of hospital clients
dr dr dr dr


b. A determination of the factors necessary to control hospital client responses

c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all hospital clients
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance hospital client outcomes
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr




ACCURATE CHOICE:-A dr


Reasoning:->>>Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


researchevidence with clinical expertise and hospital client needs and values. Studies
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


that attempt to find determinants ofhospital client outcomes are generally experimental
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specifichospital client needs and values.
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


Quantitative and qualitative studies appliedto the evaluation of hospital client outcomes
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
