Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0305 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Body of Evidence
Captions available
The idea
A clinical question is answered by a body of evidence — the whole set of relevant studies of all types, from multiple sources — not by a single study.
In practice
Trials, a review, and a case study together forming what answers the question.
Where people slip
"The evidence" is a collection, not a paper. A question answered from one study has been answered from a fragment.
