ANS: A
Control is the ability to manipulate the situation to produce the desired outcome. Description
involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and, sometimes,
the relationships among them. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and
identifies the reasons why certain events occur. The ability to estimate the probability of a
specific outcome in a given situation in nursing practice is known as prediction. The
researcher’s focus is on predicting what is likely.

3. A researcher wants to find out whether children with autism who are hospitalized on a
pediatric ward will require more hours of nursing care than average children when the
parents or caregivers are not present. What type of research outcome does this provide? a.

4. A researcher who desires to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between requiring

of children’s spinal cord injury will consequently utilize which form of nursing research? a.
Descriptive research
b. Outcomes research
c. Qualitative research
d. Quantitative research
ANS: D
Quantitative research, the most frequently used method, is a formal, objective, systematic
methodology to describe variables, test relationships, and examine cause-and-effect
interactions. Quantitative research includes experimental research, which is the method for
testing cause-and-effect relationships between and among specific variables. Qualitative
research methods are used for explaining meanings and describing experiences in context.
Descriptive research involves identifying and understanding the nature of phenomena and,
sometimes, the relationships among them. Outcomes research examines the end result of
care in huge populations, most often retrospectively, using a database.

5. A nurse with considerable clinical expertise develops a policy for managing agitated
patients in the emergency department. The resultant policy emanates from
a. Abstract reasoning
b. Concrete thinking
c. Logistic reasoning
d. Reality testing
ANS: A
Abstract reasoning is oriented toward the development of an idea without application to, or
association with, a particular instance. Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by
tangible things or by events that are observed and experienced in reality. Logistic reasoning
is used to break a whole into parts that can be carefully examined. Reality testing is used to
validate what is observed in the empirical world.

6. A nurse with considerable clinical expertise develops a policy for managing agitated patients
in the emergency department. The type of reasoning the nurse uses to do this is reasoning.
a. Problematic
b. Operational
c. Logistic
, d. Inductive
ANS: D
Inductive reasoning involves reasoning that moves from the specific to the general, whereby
particular instances are observed and then combined into a larger whole or general
statement. Problematic reasoning involves (1) identifying a problem and factors influencing
it, (2) selecting solutions to the problem, and (3) resolving the problem. Operational
reasoning involves the identification of and discrimination among many alternatives and
viewpoints. Logistic reasoning is used to break the whole into parts that can be carefully
examined, as the relationships among the parts can also be.

7. Despite the presence of an intraventricular drain, the intracranial pressure of an ICU
neuro patient remains increased. The nurse recalibrates the machine, makes sure the monitor
is on the same level as the drain, checks all connections, and then notifies the physician, who
comes to the unit and inserts a new drain. What type of reasoning prompts the nurse to
recalibrate, ensure proper placement, and check connections?

8. What is the best explanation of intuition that forms a legitimate source of knowledge in
nursing?
a. It is based on knowledge thoroughly incorporated into thought but seldom
articulated.
b. It is based on a gift from the universe and should be honored when it arrives. c. It
is never inaccurate.
d. It is a revisiting of old knowledge, accompanied by deep reflection.

9. Why is operational reasoning necessary for research?
a. Abstract concepts are of no use to nursing.
b. Standard interventions are obtained from operational reasoning.
c. It allows the researcher to measure the concepts studied.
d. It facilitates the researcher’s rapport with families.
