EBP (Evidence Based Practice) PRACTICE EXAM
STUDY SET COMPLETE AND VERIFIED.
A natural uncontrolled, real life situation where a study might be
conducted.(example in a patients home)
Field study.
Another term for the specific goal or aim of a study is called
study purpose
a study had a sample size of 15 subjects and 5 of the subjects dropped out of
the study before it was completed. THis situation is an example of
methodological limitations
a nurse researcher conducted a study with Becker's health belief model as the
framework for the study. The researcher did not provide conceptual definition s
for the variables. This is an example of a
theoretical limitations
When a study variable lacks a clear link to a concept or the framework what has
occurred?
theoretical limitations
Weaknesses in the study framework and conceptual and operational definitions
that restrict the abstract generalizations of the findings.
A small scale research effort often used to determine the feasibility of a large
scale effort with emphasis on refining procedures and instrumentation
pilot study
Data analysis is used to produce which part of the research process?
a. Conclusion
b. findings
c. implications
d. results
,results
Rationale: results are the outcomes of the data analysis that are generated from
the research objective, question or hypothesis.
The four major parts included in a research report
introduction, methods, results and discussion
Which part of the research report would one read to obtain a clear concise
summary of the study.
the abstract
The effect of treatment positioning (supine versus sitting up) on outcomes fear
and pain children experienced during immunizations is an example of which
type of research?
applied or basic
Applied
Adherence to detail and strict accuracy
Precise measuring tools, a representative of sample, tightly control design
Demanding strict attention to rules and procedure
Rigor
Demanding strict attention to rules and procedure
The effect of treatment positioning (supine versus sitting up) on outcomes fear
and pain children experienced during immunizations is an example of
Rigor
Any variables other than the independent variable that seem likely to influence
the dependent variable in a specific study.
Extraneous variables
Rationale: Factors that can influence or interfere with research
what are the types of research setting?
Natural or field settings
Partially controlled settings
Highly controlled or laboratory settings
,The conduct of a quasi experimental study is best directed by a?
a. hypothesis.
b. objective.
c. purpose.
d. question
hypothesis
Which of the following statements is a belief reflective of the world view on
which qualitative research is based?
a. there are multiple perceptions of reality.
b. deductive reasoning is used.
c. knowledge has the same meanings across all situations.
d. the reality of a particular individual remains the same across time.
there are multiple perceptions of reality.
according to qualitative philosophy, reality is based on perceptions and is different
for each person.
Scientific rigor in qualitative studies requires
reconstructing the dimension of the phenomenon under study
systematic, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and give them
meaning
Qualitative research
Four Approaches to Qualitative Research include
Phenomenological
Grounded theory
Ethnographic
Historical research
focuses on lived experiences of humans; - approach is to thinking about what
life , used to better understand an individual's day-to-day experience, focusing
on their subjective lived experience or life world. Seeks to express the essence
of human experiences.
Phenomenological research
, A qualitative research form of anthropological research that studies the way
people live their lives. done by immersing yourself in the group you want to
study.
ethnographic research
investigators study the behavior of a culture from the perspective of a "native"
or insider
emic approach
involves studying behavior from outside the culture and examining similarities
and differences across cultures
etic approach
focuses mainly on observing and documenting interactions with people of how
these daily life conditions and patterns are influencing human care, health, and
nursing care practices
ethnonursing
studies deigned to establish facts and relationships concerning past events.
Example: a study examining the societal factors that lead to the acceptance of
advanced practice nurses by clients.
historical research
______research may include:
Scientific misconduct
Fraud, research protocol violations
Fabrication, falsification, forging of data
Plagiarism
Putting subjects at risk without consent
unethical research
_______Research includes
Protecting human rights
Understanding informed consent
Understanding institutional review of research
Balancing benefits and risks in a study
