Explanation: 1. This is not the meaning of cookbook in this scenario. The EBP guidelines are not always easy to follow and the profession remains challenging. The challenge is in individualizing the guidelines to the specific patient and situation.
2. This is not the meaning of cookbook in this scenario. The guidelines require professional education and clinical decision making. There is no indication that using EBP will reduce the required education level of nurses or that other, less educated persons will have the clinical decision making skills to employ EBP guidelines.
3. The term cookbook has been used to complain that using guidelines results in care that is too prescribed and directed. This should not be true of EBP guidelines as they are written to be patient-centered and to be modified to fit the particular patient and patient situation.
4. The purpose of EBP guidelines is to provide the best interventions or treatments to the individual patient, given the individual situation. This does require some interpretation, but the purpose of the guidelines is also to limit this need.
