Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2   EBP 0163 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Novices Ask Background Questions

Captions available

The idea

Clinicians new to an area ask mainly background questions; as experience grows and background knowledge accumulates, the focus shifts to foreground questions.

In practice

A clinician asking what a condition is, and later asking what best changes its course.

Where people slip

Asking background questions is a stage, not a deficiency. Skipping it produces foreground questions built on nothing.
