Ch 1 Flashcards
Named one of the top ten developments in history of
medicine
Evidence-Based Practice
conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best
evidence in making decisions about the care of
individual patients/clients
EBP
Evidence-based medicine requires you to read the
right papers at the right time and then to alter your
behavior (and, what is often more difficult, the behavior
of other people) in light of what you have found
EBP
The process of systematically finding, appraising, and using
contemporaneous research findings as the basis for clinical
decisions. Evidence-based medicine asks questions, finds and appraises the relevant data, and harnesses that information for everyday clinical practice
EBP
an adaptation of the concepts of EBP to rehabilitation practice and necessitates specific skills that allow clinicians to use evidence within the complex decision-making required for rehabilitation practice
EBR
True/false: EBP ignores established clinical skills
False
True/false: EBP critically examines all clinical procedures,
critically evaluating their appropriateness for the
specific situation.
True
True/False: EBP conflicts with client-centered practice.
False
True/False: The use of evidence is only one piece of the clinical decision-making process. Client situations, preferences and values are a key component in the process
True
True/False: EBP does not mean that practitioners
should be continually running to the library, but that
clinicians should remember to search for evidence to
support or refute their practice methods
True
True/False: EBP rejects any evidence that is not a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).
False
True/False: EBP insists that each client is treated with the best available evidence, that practitioners make a genuine
effort to find the best solution given their resources
True
What should practitioners aim for in Practicing Evidence-Based Rehabilitation?
Awareness, consultation, judgment, creativity
