LATEST FINAL EXAM (BRAND NEW!!)
WALDEN NURS 6531 Final EXAM
What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of
translational research? p. 6
a. Adoption of interventions and clinical practices into routine clinical
care
b. Determination of the basis of disease and various treatment options
c. Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions
d. Exploration of fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or
behavior ......ANSWER......ANS: C
Clinical research trials are concerned with determining the safety and
effectiveness of interventions. Adoption of interventions and practices
is part of clinical implementation. Determination of the basis of
disease and treatment options is part of the preclinical research
phase. Exploration of the fundamental mechanisms of biology,
disease, or behavior is part
of the basic research stage.
What was an important finding of the Advisory Board survey of 2014
about primary care preferences of patients? p. 2
a. Associations with area hospitals
,2|Page
b. Costs of ambulatory care
c. Ease of access to care
d. The ratio of providers to patients ......ANSWER......ANS: C
As part of the 2014 survey, the Advisory Board learned that patients
desired 24/7 access to care, walk-in settings and the ability to be seen
within 30 minutes, and care that is close to home. Associations with
hospitals, costs of care, and the ratio of providers to patients were not
part of these results.
Which assessments of care providers are performed as part of the
value-based purchasing (VBP) initiative? (Select all that apply.) p. 1
a. Appraising costs per case of care for Medicare patients
b. Assessing patients' satisfaction with hospital care
c. Evaluating available evidence to guide clinical care guidelines
d. Monitoring mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia
e. Requiring advanced IT standards and minimum cash reserves
......ANSWER......ANS: A, B, D
Value-based purchasing looks at five domain areas of processes of
care, including efficiency of care (cost per case), experience of care
(patient satisfaction measures), and outcomes of care (mortality rates
for certain conditions). Evaluation of evidence to guide clinical care is
part of evidence-based practice. The requirements for IT standards
and financial status are
part of Accountable Care Organization standards

What is the purpose of Level II research? p. 6
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment
c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables
......ANSWER......ANS: C
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships among
characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to define the
characteristics of groups of patients. Level II research evaluates the
nature of the relationships between variables. Level IV
research is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of
interventions or treatments.
Which is the most appropriate research design for a Level III research
study? p. 6
a. Epidemiological studies
b. Experimental design
c. Qualitative studies
d. Randomized clinical trials ......ANSWER......ANS: B
The experimental design is the most appropriate design for a Level III
study. Epidemiological studies are appropriate for Level II studies.
Qualitative designs are useful for Level I studies. Randomized clinical
trials are used for Level IV studies.

Which statement made by a health care provider demonstrates the
most appropriate understanding for the goal of a performance report?
a. "This process allows me to critique the performance of the rest of the
staff."
b. "Most organizations require staff to undergo a performance
evaluation yearly."
c. "It is hard to be personally criticized but that's how we learn to
change."
d. "The comments should help me improve my management skills."
......ANSWER......ANS: D
The goal of the performance report is to provide guidance to staff in
the areas of professional development, mentoring, and leadership
development. A peer review is written by others who perform similar
skills (peers). The remaining options may be true but do not provide
evidence of understanding of the goal of this professional
requirement.
Which assessment question would a health care provider ask when
engaging in the previsit stage of the new model for primary care?
(Select all that apply.)
a. "Are you ready to discuss some of the community resources that are
available?"
b. "Are you experiencing any side effects from your newly prescribed
medications?"
c. "Do you anticipate any problems with adhering to your treatment
plan?"
