Chapter 1: Occupational Therapy as an Evidence-Based Practice Profession

True/False

• There exists a dynamic relationship between research and practice. Professional research should be

used to inform practice theory and interventions; equally, practice should influence and guide the direction of future research.

ANS: True

STD: B.8.1

• A core tenet of evidence-based practice for occupational therapy is that interventions utilized should

be those that are validated through the best available clinical evidence without consideration of an individual therapist’s clinical expertise.

ANS: False

• A client’s values should influence and be considered when providing evidence-based occupational

therapy services.

philosophical beliefs and nature of occupational therapy (OT). Therefore, its principles are directly replicated with evidence-based OT practice.

Multiple Choice

• Occupational therapy has a professional obligation to maintain a systematic and shared body of

knowledge. Which of the following does not serve toward the development of evidence for this requirement?
