Which type of guidelines results in a faster integration of new evidence into practice and addresses issues of cost and variation in practice, and are often developed by government agencies or societies such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force?

Choice A reason: Practice Guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. They are designed to reduce variation in practice and promote the integration of new research findings into patient care, which can improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Choice B reason: Personal Guidelines are not a standard term in healthcare. Individuals may have personal preferences or rules for their own health care, but these are not formal guidelines that influence practice on a wider scale.

Choice C reason: Nursing Guidelines are specific to the nursing profession and provide a framework for nurses in their practice. However, they are not as broad in scope as Practice Guidelines, which encompass all areas of health care.

Choice D reason: Institutional Guidelines are developed within a specific institution, such as a hospital, and may not have the wide-reaching impact on practice variation and cost that Practice Guidelines, developed by government agencies or professional societies, have.
