1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
l l l l l l
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and
l l l l l l l l l l l
values of patients
l l l
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and
l l l l l l l l l l l l
delivery of care l l l

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

Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
l l l l l l l l l l l
relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
l l l l l l l l l l l
phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a
