MULTIPLE CHOICE nm
1. A key step to the development of nursing research was
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
a. the endowment of nursing research chairs.
nm nm nm nm nm
b. universities offering baccalaureate nursing programs.nm nm nm nm
c. a baccalaureate degree becoming the entry to practice.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
d. the Canadian Nurses Association developing a research mandate.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
ANS: B nm
Feedback
A Endowment of nursing research chairs did not occur until the number of
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
nurses with PhD degrees increased.
nm nm nm nm nm
B Universities offering baccalaureate nursing programs provided an introduction
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
to research within the BScN programs and led to further nursing
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
education at the MSN and PhD levels.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
C Baccalaureate degrees becoming the entry to practice did not occur
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
until the twenty-first century.
nm nm nm nm
D The Canadian Nurses Association did not develop a research mandate until
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
the end of the twentieth century.

2. How is nursing research significant to the profession of nursing?
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
a. Responsibility is more specifically defined. nm nm nm nm
b. Liability within the practice of nursing is decreased.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
c. A specialized body of knowledge is generated for use in the delivery of health care.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
d. The scope of nursing practice is expanded into areas formerly reserved for
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
nm other disciplines. nm
ANS: C nm
Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
guidelines regarding responsibility already exist.
nm nm nm nm nm
B Liability is a legal concept. Research does not promote liability.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
C Theory-based nursing research provides a foundation for evidence-informed
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
nursing care. nm
D Nursing research expands the discipline of nursing as it pertains to
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
nursing practice.

, 3. Why are nursing practice–oriented scientific investigations
nm nm nm nm nm
valuable? nm
a. They validate the effectiveness of particular nursing interventions.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
b. They encourage consumers to question the quality of health care.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
c. They limit the theory base for clinical decision making.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
d. They mandate health care reform.
nm nm nm nm
ANS: A nm
Feedback
A Practice-focused research supports the effectiveness of nursing interventions
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
and reinforces quality of nursing care.
nm nm nm nm nm nm
B On the contrary, they help reassure consumers about the quality of health
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
care.
nm
C They support the development of the theory base for clinical decision
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
making.
nm
D They reinforce the effectiveness of current nursing practice.

4. When a change in nursing practice results in decreased cost of care, what additional
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
factor must be considered before general implementation of this change?
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
a. Ensuring compliance of the change by nurses with diverse
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
educational backgrounds
nm nm
b. Maintaining or improving the quality of care resulting from the change in practice
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
c. Encouraging patients to be active partners in their health care decisions
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
d. Disseminating the change beyond the discipline of nursing nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
ANS: B nm
Feedback
A Not all nurses are responsible for supervising compliance with new
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
measures.
nm
B Nurses are accountable to maintain quality patient care despite cost-cutting
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
measures.
nm
C Nurses should encourage patient participation in care despite cost-cutting
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
measures.
nm
D Nurses are not responsible for reforming other disciplines.

5. Why do nurses who do not conduct research need to understand the nursing research
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
process?
nm
a. To identify potential participants for clinical research studies
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
b. To assist in collecting accurate data for clinical research studies
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
c. To teach patients and families about the usefulness of participation in research
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
