Essentials |of |Nursing |Research: |Appraising |Evidence |for |Nursing |Practice |9th |Edition |by |Polit, |Beck
1. Which |o f |the |following |groups |would |be |best |served |by |the |development |of |a |scientific
|base |for |nursing |practice?
A) Nursing |administrators
B) Practicing |nurses
C) Nurses' |clients
D) Health |care |policymakers
Ans: |C
|Feedback:
Nursing |research |is |systematic |inquiry |designed |to |develop |trustworthy |evidence |about
|issues |o f |importance |t o |nurses |and |t heir |clients. |Nurse |leaders |recognize |t he |need |t o |base
|specific |nursing |decisions |on |evidence |indicating |that |the |decisions |are |clinically
|appropriate, |cost-effective, |and |result |in |positive |client |outcomes. |Although |all |of |the
|people |listed |would |benefit |from |the |development |of |a |scientific |base |for |nursing |practice,
|ultimately |it |is |the |clients |themselves |who |would |most |benefit, |as |they |would |then |receive
|the | most |appropriate |and |most |effective |care.
2. An |especially |important |goal |for |the |nursing |profession |is |to |do |which |of |the |following?
A) Conduct |research |to |better |understand |the |context |o f |nursing |practice
B) Establish |a |solid |base |o f |evidence |for |practice |through |disciplined |research
C) Document |the |role |nursing |serves |in |society
D) Establish |research |priorities
Ans: |B
|Feedback:
Nurses |are |increasingly |expected |to |understand |and |undertake |research |and |to |base |their
|practice |on |evidence |from |research. |Evidence-based |practice |is |the |use |of |the |best
|evidence |in |making |patient |care |decisions |and |typically |comes |from |research |conducted
|by |nurses |and |o ther |health-care |professionals. |All |o f |the |o ther |answers |are |possible |goals
|for |t he |nursing |profession, |but |none |is |as |important |as |establishing |evidence |for |practice.
3. Which |o f |the |following |is |a |fundamental |belief |of |those |who |hold |to |the |constructivist
|paradigm?
A) A |fixed |reality |exists |in |nature |for |humans |to |understand
B) The |nature |of |reality |has |changed |o ver |time
C) Reality |is |multiply |constructed |and |multiply |interpreted |by |humans
D) Reality |cannot |be |studied |empirically
Ans: |C
|Feedback
:
In |the |constructivist |paradigm, |it |is |assumed |that |reality |is |not |a |fixed |entity |but |is |rather |a
|construction |o f |human |minds, |and |t hus |“truth” |is |a |composite |o f |multiple |constructions |of
|reality. |However, |constructivists |do |believe |that |reality |can |be |studied |empirically.
