Multiple Choice
, PHILOSOPHIES AND THEORIES FOR ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE 3RD EDITION
1. Why Are Natural Sciences Also Referred To As “Pure” Sciences?
A. They Are Considered Stand-Alone Bodies Of Unique Knowledge.
B. They Are The Only Sciences To Which The Scientific Method Can Be Applied.
C. They Are The Original Sciences Upon Which All Others Are Based.
D. They Are Not Affected By Subjectivity In The Way Other Sciences Are.
ANSWER:>A
Natural Sciences Are Often Referred To As “Pure” Sciences Because They
Focus On Understanding The Natural World Through Independent, Objective
Knowledge. These Sciences, Such As Physics, Chemistry, And Biology, Are
Considered Foundational In Building Knowledge And Are Not Directly Tied To
Specific Practical Applications Like Applied Sciences.
2. Which Is Not An Example Of An Applied Science As Used In Health Care
Today?
A. Social Work
B. Psychotherapy
C. Examination Of Care Disparities
D. Pathology
ANSWER:>D
Pathology Is A Natural Science, Not An Applied Science. It Focuses On
Understanding Diseases And Their Causes, Which Is More Foundational And
Theoretical. The Other Options—Social Work, Psychotherapy, And Examination
Of Care Disparities—Are Applied Sciences Because They Involve Direct
Application Of Scientific Knowledge To Address Societal And Health Issues.
3. Roberta Firmly Believes That Individual Experiences Are The Source Of All
Knowledge In The World. As A Scientist, She Acknowledges Her Role As A
, PHILOSOPHIES AND THEORIES FOR ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE 3RD EDITION
Participant In The Experiments She Performs And Does Consider Herself Merely
A Disconnected Observer Of Phenomenon. Roberta’s Views Are Most Closely
Associated With Which School Of Scientific Thought?
A. Natural Science
B. Human Science
C. Applied Science
D. Soft Science
ANSWER:>B
Roberta’s Belief That Individual Experiences Shape Knowledge Aligns With
Human Science, Which Emphasizes The Subjective Experiences Of Individuals
And The Role Of The Researcher In Influencing Results. Human Science
Acknowledges The Subjective Nature Of Human Perception And The Influence
Of Personal Experience On Knowledge.
4. What Is The Ultimate Goal Of The Scientific Method?
A. Application Of Scientific Results To A Related Body Of Knowledge In Order To
Meet Some Type Of Human Need.
B. Examination Of The Decisions Made By A Scientist To Understand The Ways
In Which Subjectivity Was Introduced To The Experiment.
C. Reproducible Experimental Results That Do Not Take Researcher
Individuality Into Account.
D. Improving The Situation Or Process Used In The Experiment To Yield More
Accurate Results In Repeat Experiments.
ANSWER:>C
The Ultimate Goal Of The Scientific Method Is To Achieve Reproducible Results
That Are Objective, Minimizing The Influence Of Individual Subjectivity. This
Allows Other Scientists To Replicate Experiments And Verify Findings, Ensuring
The Reliability Of The Results.
, PHILOSOPHIES AND THEORIES FOR ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE 3RD EDITION
5. Which Of The Following Best Describes The Aim Of Natural Sciences?
A. Affirmation Of The Importance Of Cultural Understanding By Uncovering The
Common Subjective Biases Of Different Disciplines.
B. Improvement Of The Quality Of Life By Understanding What Helps People
Maximize Their Functional Abilities.
C. Utilization Of Knowledge By Applying It To A Specific Purpose In Order To
Better A Situation Or Change Viewpoints.
D. Development Of Knowledge For The Sake Of Developing Knowledge,
Discovering Truth, And Controlling Outcomes.
ANSWER:>D
The Primary Aim Of The Natural Sciences Is To Develop Knowledge To
Understand The Natural World, Discover Truths, And Control Outcomes. This
Goal Is More About Advancing Fundamental Knowledge Rather Than Applying It
Immediately Or Improving Specific Aspects Of Human Life (Which Would Be
More In The Realm Of Applied Sciences).
6. Gretchen And Peter Are Graduate Students In The Same Physics Lab. Their
Supervisor Has Asked Both Of Them To Perform The Same Experiment Using
The Same Procedure And Equipment. After They’ve Both Completed Their Task,
They Compare Their Results And Discover That They Are Nearly Identical.
Which Of The Five Criteria For Science Does Gretchen And Peter’s Discovery
Exemplify?
A. Intersubjective Testability
B. Reliability
C. Definiteness And Precision
D. Coherence
