1. Nursing research is significant to the profession of nursing because it promotes:
a. more specifically defined nursing practice responsibilities.
b. decreased liability within the practice of nursing.
c. generation of a specialized body of nursing knowledge for use in nursing practice.
d. expansion of the scope of nursing practice into other disciplines.
ANS: C
Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional guidelines
already exist regarding responsibility. Each state has a Nurse Practice Act with
rules and regulations that define scope of practice.
B Liability is a legal concept related to a nurse’s legal scope of practice and
professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liability.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge base that empowers
the nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of
health care delivery to multiple populations. It provides a foundation for
evidence-based nursing care and quality improvement activities.
D Although research can doNcuUmReS

2. An aspect of the scientific investigation of nursing practice that is also a fundamental concept
of American Nurses Association (ANA)’s Code for Nurses is:
a. professional accountability.
b. standards of care.
c. legal scope of practice.
d. advanced practice nursing activities.
ANS: A
Feedback
A Scientific investigation promotes accountability, a hallmark of the nursing
profession and a fundamental concept of the ANA’s Code for Nurses.
B Standards of care are defined by ANA, as well as specialty nursing organizations.
The Code for Nurses states that nurses should conform to standards, but standards
per se are not part of the Code.
C Legal scope of practice is defined by each state’s Nurse Practice Act and
elaborated in its rules and regulations.
D The ANA Code applies to nursing practice in general, not advanced practice.
