2. Which statement bythe nurse accuratelydescribes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
g g g g g g g g g g
a. ―Patient care is based on clinical judgment, experience, and traditions.‖
g g g g g g g g g
b. ―Data areanalyzed later to show that thepatient outcomes areconsistentlymet.‖

g g g g g g g g g g g
d. ―Recommendations arebased onresearch, clinical expertise,and patient g g g g io

ANS: D g
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined
g g g g g g g g g g g
withclinician expertise and consideration of patient preferences. Clinical judgment based
g g g g g g g g g g
onthe nurse‗s clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical decision making should also
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes
g g g g g g g g g g
isimportant, but data analysis is not required to use EBP. All published articles do not
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
provide research evidence; interventions should be based on credible research, preferably
g g g g g g g g g g g
randomizedcontrolled studies with a large number of subjects.

g g g g g g g g g g g g
Theother actions maybe appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best
