ANS: B
The main purpose of leveling research evidence in the establishment of evidence-based practice guidelines is to develop standard guidelines for providing care to clients that are based on the strongest evidence known, to improve the quality of care.
The purpose of a critique of a research article is to establish usefulness in one’s particular practice.
This would be a potential “offshoot” of research evidence review; it is not the main purpose.
The purpose of a peer review before publication is to see that the establishment of the stated purpose or aim of the research was achieved.
