MCQs
1) a key step to the development of nursing research was
A. the endowment of nursing research chairs.
B. universities offering baccalaureate nursing programs.
C. a baccalaureate degree becoming the entry to practice.
D. the canadian nurses association developing a research mandate.
actual answer: b
feedback
a endowment of nursing research chairs did not occur until the number of nurses with
phd degrees increased.
b universities offering baccalaureate nursing programs provided an introduction to
research within the bscn programs and led to further nursing education at the msn and
