professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liaḇility.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge ḇase that empowers
the nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of
health care delivery to multiple populations. It provides a foundation for
evidence-ḇased nursing care and quality improvement activities.
