You are a nurse researcher interviewing senior oncology nurses, asking them to
describe how they deal with the loss of a patient. The analysis of the interviews
yields common themes describing the nurses' grief. This is an example of which
type of study? - Answer: Qualitative study.

(A qualitative study involves inductive reasoning to develop generalizations or
theories from specific observations or interviews. Historical research establishes
facts and relationships concerning past events. Correlational research is
exploration of the interrelationships among variables of interest without any
intervention by the researcher. An experimental study involves the use of tightly
controlled subject groups, variables, and procedures to eliminate bias and ensure
that findings can be generalized to similar groups of subjects.)
An operating room nurse is talking with colleagues during a meeting. She asks, "I
wonder if we would see fewer wound infections if we used chlorhexidine instead
of povidone-iodine to clean the skin of our surgical patients? What does the P
represent in this example of a PICOT question? - Answer: Surgical patients.
(Surgical patients are the patient population of interest (P) in the PICOT (patient
population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) question. The intervention
is the cleaning of the skin, and the comparison of interest is between
chlorhexidine use and povidone-iodine use. Operating room nurses are not an
element of the PICOT question.)
A nurse researcher is designing an exercise study that involves 100 patients who
attend a wellness clinic. As the patients come to the clinic, each has a choice as to
whether he or she wants to be in the new exercise program or remain in the
traditional program. The nurse plans to measure the patients' self-report of
exercise before and 6 months after the program begins. What factor might

influence the results of this study in an unfavourable way? - Answer: Sampling
method.
(Because the patients at the clinic are allowed their choice of the traditional
versus the new exercise program, the sampling in this study is not random
sampling.)
The foundation of research is which of the following? - Answer: Scientific method.
(The scientific method is the foundation of research and is the most reliable and
objective of all methods of obtaining knowledge. Documentation, critical thinking,
and evidence are not the foundations of research.)
A researcher gives a subject full and complete information about the purpose of a
study. This is an example of which of the following? - Answer: Informed consent.
(Informed consent implies that the research subjects are given full and complete
information about the purpose of the study, procedures, data collection, potential
harms and benefits, and alternative methods of treatment. Confidentiality rules
guarantee that any information the subject provides will not be reported to
people outside the research team. Bias is any personal opinion or judgement that
may be interjected into the results. Anonymity means that the subject's name and
identifying information would not be disclosed during the research study.)
