NURS 6010 Exam #1 Questions With Correct
Answers
In a hospital, nursing tradition dictates that a full set of vital signs be completed
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
every shift per physician order. This is an example of which of the following
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
phenomena.
A. Evidence-based practice (EBP)
| | |
B. Integration of personal expertise into nursing care
| | | | | | |
C. The prioritization of internal evidence over external evidence
| | | | | | | |
D. Practice that lacks evidence to support its application. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-d
As we all know, assessment of patient status is one of the two aspects of nursing
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
care that cannot be delegated. You can delegate taking the vitals but not the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
assessment of patient condition based on those vitals. Nursing assessment is not
| | | | | | | | | | | |
driven by physician order but by the needs and changes of the patient, or as we
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
read in the study "how worried are you?". Orders for vital signs is a hold-over
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
from the days in which physicians were told to order vital signs based on "how
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
often you want the nurse to check on the patient."
| | | | | | | | |
,a theoretical or conceptual framework is? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-compromised
| | | | | | | | |
of a number of interrelated statements that attempt to describe, explain, and/or
| | | | | | | | | | | |
predict a phenomenon | | |
its purpose is to provide a framework for selecting the study's variables, including
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|how they relate to one another, as well as to guide the development of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
interventions in experimental studies | | |
example of a theoretical framework - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-As an example, for
| | | | | | | | | | |
decades, self-regulation theory (Johnson, Fieler, Jones, Wlasowicz, & Mitchell,
| | | | | | | | |
1997) has long provided an excellent theoretical framework for providing
| | | | | | | | | |
educational interventions to patients undergoing intrusive procedures (e.g.,
| | | | | | | |
endoscopy) and chemotherapy/radiation. The basic premise of this theory is that
| | | | | | | | | | |
the provision of concrete objective information to an individual who is
| | | | | | | | | | |
confronting a stressful situation or procedure will facilitate a cognitive schema or
| | | | | | | | | | | |
representation of what will happen that is similar to the real-life event. As a result
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|of an individual knowing what he or she is likely to experience, there is an
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
increase in understanding, predictability, and confidence in dealing with the
| | | | | | | | | |
situation as it unfolds (Johnson et al., 1997), which leads to improved coping
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
outcomes.
if the research question or hypothesis concerns itself with the testing effects of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
an intervention or treatment on patient outcomes, the study calls for an ? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-experimental design | |
purpose of descriptive studies - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is to describe, observe, or
| | | | | | | | | | |
document a phenomenon that can serve as a foundation for developing
| | | | | | | | | | |
hypothesis or testing theory | | |
,for example a descriptive study design would be appropriate to answer each of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
the following clinical questions - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1. what is the incidence
| | | | | | | | | | |
of complications in women who are on bed rest with preterm labor
| | | | | | | | | | | |
2. what is the average number of depressive symptoms experienced by teenagers
| | | | | | | | | | |
after a critical care hospitalization
| | | | | |
3. in adults with type 2 diabetes, what are the most common physical
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
comorbidites
case control studies are those? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-in which group of
| | | | | | | | | | |
individuals (cases) with a certain condition (migraine headaches) is studied at the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
same time as another group of individuals who do not have the condition
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(controls) to determine an association between one or more predictor variables
| | | | | | | | | | |
(family hx of migraine headaches, consumption fo red wine) and the condition
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(migraine headaches) |
advantages of case control studies - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-include an ability to
| | | | | | | | | | |
determine associations with a small number of subjects, which is especially useful
| | | | | | | | | | |
|in the study of rare types of diseases and an ability to generate hypotheses for
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
future studies |
limitations of case control studies - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is bias (inability to
| | | | | | | | | | |
control the confounding variables that may influence the outcome)
| | | | | | | |
, cohort study - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-follows a group of subjects longitudinally
| | | | | | | | | |
over a period of time to describe the incidence of a problem or to determine the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
relationship between a predictor variable and an outcome
| | | | | | |
an example of a cohort study - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-finding out whether
| | | | | | | | | | |
daughters of mothers who had breast cancer have a higher incidence of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
disease vs those who mothers did not have breast cancer
| | | | | | | | | |
two groups of daughters (those with and without a mother breast cancer) would
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
be studied over time to determine the incidence of breast cancer in each group
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
a major strength (advantage) of prospective cohort studies include - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-being able to determine the incidence of a problem and its possible | | | | | | | | | | | |
cause
a major limitation of cohort studies - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is the lengthy nature
| | | | | | | | | | |
of this type of study the costs of which often become prohibitive
| | | | | | | | | | | |
True experiments or RCTs possesses three characteristics - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-■ An experimental group that receives the treatments or | | | | | | | | |
intervention
■ A control or comparison group that receives standard care or a comparison
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
intervention that is different from the experimental interventions
| | | | | | |
■ Randomization or random assignment which is the use of a strategy to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
randomly assign subjects to the experimental or control group
