ACCURATE QUESTIONS &ANSWERS PASS GUARANTEED.
research - (ANSWER)systematic inquiry using disciplined methods to answer questions/solve problems
nursing research - (ANSWER)systematic inquiry to develop trustworthy evidence about issues important
to nurses
producers of nursing research - (ANSWER)nurses who actively design and undertake studies
consumers of nursing research - (ANSWER)nurses who read research reports and keep up-to-date on
findings that may affect their practice
nurses can help in a study by: - (ANSWER)1) Help develop an idea for a clinical study
2) Assist researchers by collecting research information
3) Offer advice to clients about participating in a study
4) Solve the clinical problem by searching for research evidence
5) Discuss the implications of a new study in a "Journal club" in your practice setting, which involves
meetings to discuss research articles
evidence based practice - (ANSWER)use of the best evidence in making pt care decisions. consumers &
producers are part of nursing research
how long is the clinical application gap? - (ANSWER)10 years
hx of research - (ANSWER)florence nightingale started it in 1850s, 1st journal= Nursing Research in
1950s, clinical research importance increases in 1980s, NCNR established NIH in 1986 to
promote/support research projects, NINR- in 1993 had 150 million dollar budget
future for research - (ANSWER)focus on EBP, use multiple confirmatory strategies w/replication emphasis
on systematic reviews, expanded local studies in healthcare, expanded dissemination of research
findings, greater focus on cultural issues/health disparities

ACCURATE QUESTIONS &ANSWERS PASS GUARANTEED.
Heightened focus on evidence-based - (ANSWER)Improvements will be needed in the quality of nursing
studies, and in nurses' skills in locating, understanding, critiquing, and using relevant study results
Use of multiple confirmatory strategies - (ANSWER)Replication and multisite studies
replication - (ANSWER)don't rely on the results of one study; doing the same study twice; different
clients in a different clinical setting
multisite - (ANSWER)doing the same study at a different site
greater stress on systematic review - (ANSWER)rigorously integrate research information on a topic so
that conclusions about the state of evidence can be reached
expanded local research in health care settings - (ANSWER)▪Small studies designed to solve local
problems will likely increase
▪More hospitals are applying for Magnet status in US & other countries
▪Most places do have research facilities
Expanded dissemination of research findings - (ANSWER)▪Small studies designed to solve local problems
will likely increase
▪More hospitals are applying for Magnet status in US & other countries
▪Most places do have research facilities
Greater focus on cultural issues and health disparities - (ANSWER)Growing awareness that research must
be sensitive to the health beliefs, behaviors, epidemiology, and values of culturally and linguistically
diverse populations
sources of evidence - (ANSWER)tradition & authority-nursing books/teachers
clinical experience
trail & error

ACCURATE QUESTIONS &ANSWERS PASS GUARANTEED.
QI & risk data
disciplined research
logical reasoning
tradition - (ANSWER)- way we have always done things
- May undermine effective problem-solving; growing concern that nursing actions are based on tradition,
custom, and culture rather than on sound evidence
authority - (ANSWER)A person with specialized expertise (nursing faculty, textbooks)
- Reliance on authorities is unavoidable
- Like tradition, authorities have limitations and are not infallible
- Ex) parenting book published in 1956 that recommended putting infants to sleep on their stomach.
Research has proven that increases the risk of SIDS
Clinical experience; trial and error, intuition - (ANSWER)- Personal experience has limitations because
each nurse's experience is too narrow to be generally useful, and personal experiences are often colored
by bias
- Trial and error involves trying alternatives successively until solution to a problem is found; can be
practical, but methods tend to be haphazard and solutions maybe idiosyncratic
inductive reasoning - (ANSWER)logical reasoning that goes from specific to general
deductive reasoning - (ANSWER)logical reasoning that goes from general to specific
assembled information - (ANSWER)(eg, quality improvement data)
- Information that has been assembled for various purposes
- Ex) benchmarking data that provides info on issues like the rates of using various procedures (rates of
C-sections) or rates of clinical problems (nosocomial infections)
- Quality improvement and risk data - (ex. medication error reports) can be used to assess practices and
determine the need for practice changes
