B. Practice that lacks evidence to support its application.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that are included with this passage:

A. The prioritization of internal evidence over external evidence.

B. Practice that lacks evidence to support its application.

C. The integration of personal expertise into nursing care.

D. Evidence-based practice (EBP).

The fact that oral temperatures are included in every set of client vital signs, regardless of diagnosis or acuity is an example of a practice that lacks evidence that supports its application. In this hospital, no reason is provided for going through this process every single time there is a new patient, except for tradition. It is likely that this is an unnecessary step in a lot of cases, and it might end up wasting the time of the doctors who could be focusing on more relevant problems.
