AND ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
evidence-based practice - ANSWER clinical decision making that integrates the best available research
with clinical expertise and patient characteristics and preferences

studies and synthesize credible findings.
science - ANSWER The body of nursing knowledge is based on _________, and includes theory and
research.
Research - ANSWER "Search again" or "examine carefully"
research - ANSWER diligent and systematic inquiry or investigation to generate new knowledge, validate
existing knowledge, and refine knowledge by incorporating new research findings.
nursing research - ANSWER *Uniquely addresses questions relevant to the largest healthcare profession*
defined as the scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and generates new
knowledge that directly and indirectly influences the delivery of evidence-based nursing
nursing - ANSWER the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of
illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and
advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations
applied research - ANSWER nursing research that focuses on generating knowledge that can be directly
implemented in clinical practice.
Basic/bench research - ANSWER not immediately applicable to practice- needed to build and strengthen
the scientific foundation of practice
, concrete - ANSWER a descriptor of thinking that is oriented toward and limited by tangible things or by
events that we experience objectively through our senses. (immediated events limited by time and
space)
abstract - ANSWER a concept oriented toward the development of an idea without application to or
association with a particular instance. (Consider the broader situation or system and look for meaning,

introspection, intuition, reasoning - ANSWER 3 main categories of abstract thought processes
introspection - ANSWER process of turning your attention inward toward your own thoughts
intuition - ANSWER understanding without rationale
reasoning - ANSWER used when reaching conclusions, and making sense of your thoughts and
experiences.
logical reasoning - ANSWER used to dissect components of a situation or conclusion, examine each
carefully, and analyze relationships among the parts.
inductive reasoning - ANSWER moves from the specific to the general, whereby a fairly small number of
instances are observed and then combined into a general statement that may be applicable to a larger
set of observations
deductive reasoning - ANSWER moves from the general to the specific, or from a general premise to a
particular situation or conclusion.
premise - ANSWER a statement predicting characteristics of specific instances
