1. Which of the following groups would be best served by the development of a scienti
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


fic base for nursing practice?
c+ c+ c+ c+


A) Nursing administrators c+


B) Practicing nurses c+


C) Nurses' clients c+


D) Health care policymakers c+ c+




Ans: C F c+ c+


eedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence abou
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


t issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c


+appropriate, cost- c+


effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the people listed wou
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


ld benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately it
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c


+is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would then receive the mo
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


st appropriate and most effective care.
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+




2. An especially important goal for the nursing profession is to do which of the following?
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


A) Conduct research to better understand the context of nursing practicec+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


B) Establish a solid base of evidence for practice through disciplined research
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


C) Document the role nursing serves in society c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


D) Establish research priorities c+ c+




Ans: B F c+ c+


eedback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base th
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


eir practice on evidence from research. Evidence-
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and ty
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


pically comes from research conducted by nurses and other health-
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing professio

n, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

3. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the constructiv

ist paradigm?
c+


A) A fixed reality exists in nature for humans to understand
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


B) The nature of reality has changed over time c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


C) Reality is multiply constructed and multiply interpreted by humans
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


D) Reality cannot be studied empirically c+ c+ c+ c+




Ans: C F c+ c+


eedback:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rat
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+


her a construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constru

, ctions of reality. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be studied empir

Belief in a fixed reality that exists in nature for humans to understand would be an
