Final Answer : B , Explanation :  The most important resource to an Evidence-Based Practice Committee would be access to a database of medical,nursing,and allied health journals,such as CINHAL and ProQuest.Textbooks are not the most current evidence because they require time to write and publish.Although scientific research is published in peer-reviewed,scholarly journals,having various subscriptions of hard-copy journals is not practical because the nurse would have to read through each journal to find information,and the number of articles available would be limited using this approach.The librarian can be helpful,but this would not be as important as another option.
