Question 3 pts
, The nurse is reviewing information about evidence-based practice
(EBP). Which statement best reflects EBP?
EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.
EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the
treatment of patients.
Co r r e ct!
EBP emphasizes the use of best evidence with the
clinician’s experience.
EBP does not consider the patient’s own preferences as
important.
EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the
use of research evidence in combination with the clinician’s
► expertise and clinical knowledge (physical assessment), as
well as patient values and preferences, when making
decisions about care and treatment. EBP is more than simply
using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and
questioning tradition is important when no compelling and
supportive research evidence exists.

threatening, and immediate (e.g., establishing an airway,

laceration on sole of the foot are not considered first-level
priority problems.
