An obstetrical nurse wishes to identify whether clients’ perceptions of a high level of support from their partner is associated with a decreased length of the second stage of labor. Which type of quantitative research is most appropriate for this research question? Correlational research Descriptive research Quasi-experimental research Experimental research Ans: A Feedback: Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In this case, the variables are perceptions of partner support and length of Stage 2 labor. There is no manipulation of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The focus on the relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events. Nurse researchers have predicted that a newly created mentorship program will result in decreased absenteeism, increased retention, and decreased attrition among a hospital’s nursing staff. Which of the following does this predicted relationship represent? Hypothesis Dependent variable N Abstract Methodology Ans: A Feedback: A hypothesis is an expected statement of the relationship between variables in a study. In this study, the dependent variables are absenteeism, retention, and attrition while the independent variable is the mentorship program. The methodology of a study is the logistical framework that guides the planning and execution of the study. An abstract is a summary of a research study published in a journal. The practice of changing patients’ bedclothes each day in acute care settings is an example of what type of knowledge? Authoritative Traditional Scientific Applied Ans: B Feedback: Changing bedclothes daily in acute care settings is an example of traditional knowledge. The practice is not based on research findings, but is rather a part of nursing practice passed down from generation to generation. A student nurse learns how to give injections from the nurse manager. This is an example of the acquisition of what type of knowledge?
