EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE IN NURSING AND
HEALTHCARE FINAL PAPER 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH FULL SOLUTION ALREADY
PASSED
◉ Identification of a researchable problem.
Answer: • Sources:
* clinical situations
* the literature
* theories
• Repeat the study or design a similar one
• Test theoretical models
◉ Review of the literature.
Answer: • Comprehensive and covers all relevant research
• Essential to locate similar or related studies that have already been
completed and on which a new study can build
• Answer the question "what have other researchers and theorists
written about this problem?"
◉ Two major categories in designing study.
,Answer: *experimental* (require quantitative methodology)
*nonexperimental* (can be quantitative or qualitative methodology)
◉ Implementation of the study involves two main task:.
Answer: *Data collection* (collected by those familiar with the
study)
*Data analysis* (arrange information into meaningful patterns
◉ Drawing conclusions based on findings, Answer the question:.
Answer: "What do these findings mean?"
◉ Discussion of clinical implications.
Answer: • Suggest actions that can be taken as a result of the
research findings in the future
• Other questions to answer: Will the procedure be effective with
patients who have a different diagnosis? • Will age make a
difference? What else do we need to know to improve the care of
patients?
• Also known as the rigor (potential threats to the validity and
reliability of the study)
◉ Dissemination of findings two major vehicles:.
Answer: • Articles published in professional journals
,• Presentations given at conferences
◉ Nursing student role in research.
Answer: Learning about research: doing honors projects or assisting
in labs
◉ BSN role in research.
Answer: Identifies problems that can be studied; may do data
collection for research studies
◉ MSN role in research.
Answer: Replicates earlier research; beginning independent
research
◉ Doctorate role in research.
Answer: Generate and test theory; establish independent research
career
◉ Academician role in research.
Answer: Independent research with external funding (e.g., NIH,
foundation grants)
, ◉ After formulation of the research question or hypothesis, the next
step in the research process is to:
A. Select the population
B. Review the literature
C. Design the study protocol
D. Discussion and/or clinical implications.
Answer: *C. Design the study protocol*
After formulation of the research question or hypothesis, the next
step in the research process is to design the study. The study design
will influence the data collection process. Selecting the population is
a component of this phase of the research process. Obtaining
necessary approvals is part of conducting the study, which follows
the design phase in the research process. Identification of the
instrument to use for data analysis occurs during the process of
designing the study protocol. This step would occur during the study
design phase of the research process after the problem identification
and literature review has taken place.
◉ Research is the same as problem solving. T or F.
Answer: *False*
Research is different from problem solving. Problem solving is
specific to a given situation and is designed for immediate action,
whereas research is generalizable (transferable) to other situations
and deals with long-term solutions rather than immediate ones.
