1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of hand
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in acute care
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
indicates that
p0H p0H
A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
Ans: B p0H
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
study results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
indicates that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.

2. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
best defend the importance of nursing research?
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
,A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
,B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
and patient outcomes.
p0H p0H p0H
Ans: D p0H
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
3. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
experience of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
nurse prioritize when appraising the results of this study?
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
, B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
the findings?
p0H p0H
C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the phenomenon
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
in question?
p0H p0H
D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
Ans: A p0H
Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
qualitative methodology.

p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
more women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?

B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H

D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication Ans: B
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
Grant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
carried out by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H

p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H

p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H p0H
understand the research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this
