of nursing research?
bk bk bk
a. Descriptive research bk
b. Outcomes research bk
c. Qualitative research bk
d. Quantitative research bk
ANS: D bk
Quantitative research, the most frequently used method, is a formal, objective,
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
systematic methodology to describe variables, test relationships, and examine cause-
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
and-effect interactions. Quantitative research includes experimental research, which is
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
the method for testing cause-and-effect relationships between and among specific
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
variables. Qualitative research methods are used for explaining meanings and
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
describing experiences in context. Descriptive research involves identifying and
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
understanding the nature of phenomena and, sometimes, the relationships among them.
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
Outcomes research examines the end result of carein huge populations, most often
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
retrospectively, using a database.

monitor is on the same level as the drain, checks all connections, and then notifies the
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
physician, who comesto the unit and inserts a new drain. What type of reasoning
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
prompts the nurse to recalibrate, ensure proper placement, and check connections?
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
a. Abstract reasoning bk
b. Concrete thinking bk
c. Logistic reasoning bk
d. Reality testing bk
ANS: C bk
Logistic reasoning is used to break a whole into parts that can be carefully examined.
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by tangible things or by events that
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
are observed and experienced in reality. Abstract reasoning is oriented toward the
bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk bk
development ofan idea without application to, or association with, a particular instance.
