AEvidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research z z z z z z z z z
evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
z z z z z z z z z
BStudies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally
z z z z z z z z z z
experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not
z z z z z z z z z z z z z
completely define it.

CEBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.

DQuantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient
z z z z z z z z z z
outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
