Chapter`1.`Primary`Care`in`the`Twenty-First`Century:`A`Circle`of`Caring
1. A`nurse`has`conducted`a`literature`review`in`an`effort`to`identify`the`effect`of`hand`wash
ing`on`the`incidence`of`nosocomial`(hospital-
acquired)`infections`in`acute`care`settings.`An`article`presented`findings`at`a`level`of`sig
nificance`of`<0.01.`This`indicates`that
A) The`control`group`and`the`experimental`group`were`more`than`99%`similar.
B) The`findings`of`the`study`have`less`than`1%`chance`of`being`attributable`to`chance.
C) The`effects`of`the`intervention`were`nearly`zero.
D) The`clinical`significance`of`the`findings`was`less`than`1:100.
Ans:`B
Feedback:`The`level`of`significance`is`the`level`at`which`the`researcher`believes`that`the`study`r
esults`most`likely`represent`a`no`chance`event.`A`level`of`significance`of`<0.01`indicates`that`t
here`is`less`than`1%`probability`that`the`result`is`due`to`chance.
2. A`nurse`has`expressed`skepticism`to`a`colleague`about`the`value`of`nursing`research,`clai
ming`that`nursing`research`has`little`relevance`to`practice.`How`can`the`nurses`colleague`best`defe
nd`the`importance`of`nursing`research?
A) The`existence`of`nursing`research`means`that`nurses`are`now`able`to`access`federal`grant`
money,`something`that`didnt`use`to`be`the`case.
,B) Nursing`research`has`allowed`the`development`of`masters`and`doctoral`programs`and`has`
greatly`increased`the`credibility`of`the`profession.
C) The`growth`of`nursing`research`has`caused`nursing`to`be`viewed`as`a`true`profession,`r
ather`than`simply`as`a`trade`or`a`skill.
D) The`application`of`nursing`research`has`the`potential`to`improve`nursing`practice`and`
patient`outcomes.
Ans:`D
Feedback:`The`greatest`value`of`nursing`research`lies`in`the`potential`to`improve`practice`and,`ultimat
ely,`to`improve`patient`outcomes.`This`supersedes`the`contributions`of`nursing`research`to`education`p

3. A`nurse`has`read`a`qualitative`research`study`in`order`to`understand`the`lived`experience`o

hen`appraising`the`results`of`this`study?
A) How`well`did`the`authors`capture`the`personal`experiences`of`these`parents?
, B) How`well`did`the`authors`control`for`confounding`variables`that`may`have`affected`the`f
indings?
C) Did`the`authors`use`statistical`measures`that`were`appropriate`to`the`phenomenon`in`
question?
D) Were`the`instruments`that`the`researchers`used`statistically`valid`and`reliable?
Ans:`A
Feedback:`Qualitative`studies`are`judged`on`the`basis`of`how`well`they`capture`and`convey`the`subject
ive`experiences`of`individuals.`Statistical`measures`and`variables`are`not`dimensions`of`a`qualitative`m
