populations is what type of research?
a.Applied research
b.Clinical research
c.Basic research

a.Applied research
Rationale:
Research conducted to generate theories is basic research. These theories help to
provide explanations for phenomena. Testing theories in different situations with
different populations is applied research. Clinical research is conducted to test
theories about the effectiveness of interventions. Each type of research contributes to
the theoretical base for the practice of nursing. Quantitative research usually produces
data in the form of numbers.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) standards of professional performance
require nurses to use research findings in practice. How do these standards impact
nurses in the workplace?
a.Nurses need to regulate their practice according to the latest journal articles.
b.Nurses need to use the best available evidence to guide practice decisions.
c.Nurses only need to participate in research while in advanced practice.
d.Nurses may use evidence-based practice to develop procedures but not policies.
b.Nurses need to use the best available evidence to guide practice decisions.
Rationale:
The American Nurses Association (ANA) standards of professional performance
require nurses to use research findings in practice. Two criteria are measured. The first
criterion is that nurses need to use the best available evidence, which includes
research findings, to guide their practice decisions (ANA, 2015). The second criterion is
that nurses participate in research activities that are appropriate for their position and
level of education. Activities may include identifying problems in the clinical setting
that may be researched; participating in data collection; participating as a member of a
research committee or a research program; sharing research findings the nurse has
found with others; conducting research; critiquing research that may be used in
practice; using research findings to develop policies, procedures, and standards for
patient care at health care facilities; and incorporating research as part of ongoing
learning as a nurse. Nurses may participate in one or more of these activities during
their careers. The ANA (2017) Research Toolkit was developed to help nurses to
provide evidence-based care that improves patient outcomes. The ANA (2017)
Research Toolkit was developed to help nurses to provide evidence-based care that
