1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
hand washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
<0.01. This indicates that

Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
study results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH

2. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
research, claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
colleague best defend the importance of nursing research?
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
,A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
,B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
and patient outcomes.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
Ans: D 2dHH
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
3. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
experience of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
the nurse prioritize when appraising the results of this study?
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
, B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
the findings?
2dHH 2dHH
C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
phenomenon in question?
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
Ans: A 2dHH
Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
the subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
of a qualitative methodology.

2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
done to encourage more women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
likely to play in a research project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-

2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research.
2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH 2dHH
Grant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally

carried out by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
