1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


hand washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


<0.01. This indicates that
gg gg gg gg




A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.

Ans: B gg




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


g study results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of
g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


<0.01 indicates that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


chance.

C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg

and patient outcomes.

Ans: D gg




Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


research to education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.

should the nurse prioritize when appraising the results of this study?
