What is Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?
Evidence-based practice is "the integration of best research evidence
with clinical experience
and patient values and circumstances."
EBP is like a three legged tripod. Just as a tripod needs all three legs to stand, EBP needs all three components to really succeed!

The study found that longer exposure to water, wet sand boosts your risk for gastrointestinal illness.
