T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



theincidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article
T T T T T T T T T T T



presented findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This indicates that
T T T T T T T T T T T




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




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




C) the effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
T T T T T T T




D) the clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
T T T T T T T T T




Ans: B T




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study results
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



most likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there is less
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.

who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize when

Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



qualitative methodology. T




3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research, claiming that
