SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◍ Quantitative studies.
Answer: address a considerable number of research though these questions
usually focus on the effects of interventions, actions, risk factors, or
events.**numerically measured
◍ evidence-based practice.
Answer: The use of the best scientific evidence, integrated with clinical
experience, and incorporating patient values and preferences in the practice
of professional nursing care.
◍ Pre-test probability is based on?.
Answer: history and epidemiology
◍ Search Strategy.
Answer: the identification of search concepts and terms and the way they are
combined that will be used in the literature review
◍ search terms.
Answer: Words or phrases that describe each search concept used to conduct
the literature search. **They may include variables in the research question,
characteristics of the population of interest, or the theoretical framework of
the research problem.
◍ research design.
Answer: The overall approach to or outline of the study that details all the
major components of the research.
◍ Post-test probability is based on?.
, Answer: the evidence
◍ research focused doctorates.
Answer: *pursue intellectual and conduct independent research fir purpose
of extending knowledge*plan and carry out an independent program of
research*seek support for initial phases of a research program *involve

Answer: *evaluate research findings to develop and implement eBP
guidelines*form and lead teams focused on EBP*identify practices and
systems that require study *collaborate with nurse scientists to initiate
research
◍ Construct Validity.
Answer: Establishes the ability of an outcome measure to assess an abstract
characteristic or concept (does it meaure what it is designed to measure)
