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

D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
T L T L T L T L L
T T L T L T L T L
Ans: B TL
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
T L L
T T L T L T L T L L
T T L L
T T L T L L
T T L T L L
T
results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that
T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L
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,
T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L
claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague best

T T L L
T T L L
T T L T L T L T L
defend the importance of nursing research?
T L T L T L T L T L T L
A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal grant

money, something that didnt use to be the case.

,B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and has
L
T T L T L T L T L T L L
T L
T T L T L T L T L
greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
T L T L T L T L T L T L T L
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true profession,
L
T T L T L L
T T L T L T L T L L
T L
T T L T L T L L

rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice and

patient outcomes.

Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L T L
ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
T L T L L

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