Evidence Based Practice in Healthcare

Ignoring research findings and literature reviews

Following traditional practices without questioning their effectiveness

Relying solely on personal opinions and experiences

Using the best available evidence to make informed decisions (correct)

Because it improves patient outcomes and safety (correct)

Because it leads to standardized treatment for all patients

Because it discourages critical thinking and analysis

Because it limits the role of research in decision making

It does not prioritize patient preferences

It only considers personal opinions and experiences (correct)

It relies exclusively on outdated information

It always leads to the same decision regardless of the evidence
