ANS: | A
Feedback
A Evidence-based |practice |evolves |from |the |integration |of |the |best |research |evidence
|with |clinical |expertise |and |patient |needs |and |values.
B Studies |that |attempt |to |find |determinants |of |patient |outcomes |are |generally
experimental |or |quasi-experimental. |They |may |be |used |to |guide |EBP |but |do |not
|completely |define |it.
C EBP |is |a |combination |of |guidelines |and |specific |patient |needs |and |values.
D Quantitative |and |qualitative |studies |applied |to |the |evaluation |of |patient |outcomes |are
|part |of |EBP |but |do |not |completely |define |EBP.

Feedback
A Control |can |be |described |as |the |ability|to |write |a |prescription |to |produce |the |desired
|outcome.

|phenomena |and |the |relationships |among |these |phenomena.
