Chapter 1: Discovering the World of Nursing Research Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nurses with a bachelor’s degree in nursing can participate in the implementation of
evidence- based protocols in practice. This means that the BSN nurse
a. Develops evidence-based guidelines
b. Designs research studies, on which protocols may be based
c. Evaluates and revises evidence-based protocols
d. Contributes practice wisdom when applying protocols in patient settings
e. Mentors PhD researchers in the clinical setting during protocol development
CORRECT ANSWER D
Nurses with a BSN degree have knowledge of the research process and skills in reading and
critically appraising studies. They assist with the implementation of evidence-based guidelines,
protocols, algorithms, and policies in practice. This implies that nurses provide their point of
view, from the clinician’s vantage, when new protocols are being put into practice, and continue
to provide feedback, regarding the positive and negative aspects of those protocols.

2. Research is designed to test the idea of providing companion dogs to elders in a major
hospital, in order to determine the effect upon the elders’ level of orientation. (The dogs’ level of
orientation will not be a focus of the research.) This type of study can do which of the following?
a. Control
b. Describe
c. Explain
d. Predict
CORRECT ANSWER 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. Control
b. Description
c. Explantation

4. A researcher who desires to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between
requiring that all children under the age of 8 will ride in special care harnesses and the
subsequent rate 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
CORRECT ANSWER 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. 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?
a. Abstract reasoning
b. Concrete thinking
c. Logistic reasoning
d. Reality testing
CORRECT ANSWER C
