C. To Define The Scope Of Nursing Education.
D. To Reduce The Time Spent On Patient Care.
Answer:> B. To Generate Evidence That Informs Clinical Practice.
Explanation:
A. Technological Advances May Be Part Of Nursing Research But Are Not The Primary
Goal.
B. The Primary Goal Of Nursing Research Is To Produce Evidence That Informs And
Enhances Clinical Nursing Practice.

B. Qualitative Research Typically Uses Smaller Sample Sizes For In-Depth Exploration
Rather Than Generalization.
C. The Hallmark Of Qualitative Research Is Its Emphasis On Understanding Human
Experiences And Social Contexts.
D. Control Groups Are Common In Quantitative Studies, Not Qualitative Research.
3. Which Section Of A Research Article Typically Includes The Research Question And
Study Objectives? A. Abstract
B. Methods
C. Introduction
D. Results
pg. 4
, Part 1. Overview Of Research And Evidence-Based Practice 5
Answer:> C. Introduction
Explanation:
A. The Abstract Summarizes The Entire Study But Does Not Fully Detail The Research
Question And Objectives.

The Research Question.
C. The Introduction Provides Background Information And Typically Includes The
Research Question And Objectives.
D. The Results Section Presents The Findings, Not The Research Question Or
Objectives.
4. What Is The Primary Difference Between Nursing Research And Evidence-Based
Practice (Ebp)? A. Ebp Focuses On Clinical Trials, While Nursing Research Does Not.
B. Nursing Research Includes Data Analysis, Whereas Ebp Focuses Only On Reviewing
Articles.
C. Nursing Research Tests Hypotheses Using Specific Methodologies, While Ebp
Involves Applying Existing Research Findings To Clinical Practice.

pg. 5
, Part 1. Overview Of Research And Evidence-Based Practice 6
Explanation:
A. Both Nursing Research And Ebp Use Evidence From Various Studies, Not Just
Clinical Trials.
B. Both Involve Critical Appraisal, But Nursing Research Focuses On Data Collection
And Analysis, Whereas Ebp Uses Existing Research Evidence.
C. Nursing Research Generates New Evidence By Testing Hypotheses, While Ebp
Synthesizes Existing Evidence And Applies It To Practice.
D. Both Qualitative And Quantitative Data Are Used In Both Nursing Research And Ebp.
5. Which Of The Following Is A Characteristic Of A Well-Designed Research Study? A.
The Study’s Results Should Support The Researcher’s Initial Hypothesis.
B. The Sample Size Should Be As Large As Possible, Regardless Of Research Design.
C. The Study’s Design, Methodology, And Analysis Should Minimize Bias.
D. Data Should Be Collected Only From One Type Of Healthcare Setting.
Answer:> C. The Study’s Design, Methodology, And Analysis Should Minimize Bias.
Explanation:
A. A Good Research Study May Or May Not Support The Initial Hypothesis, But It
Should Be Unbiased And Objective.
