BASED PRACTICE, 9TH EDITION
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. NURSING RESEARCH IS SIGNIFICANT TO THE PROFESSION OF NURSING BECAUSE IT PROMOTES:
A. MORE SPECIFICALLY DEFINED NURSING PRACTICE RESPONSIBILITIES.
B. DECREASED LIABILITY WITHIN THE PRACTICE OF NURSING.
C. GENERATION OF A SPECIALIZED BODY OF NURSING KNOWLEDGE FOR USE IN NURSING
PRACTICE.
D. EXPANSION OF THE SCOPE OF NURSING PRACTICE INTO OTHER DISCIPLINES.
ANSWER: C
FEEDBACK
A RESEARCH AIDS IN DOCUMENTING ACCOUNTABILITY OF NURSES, BUT PROFESSIONAL
GUIDELINES ALREADY EXIST REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY. EACH STATE HAS A NURSE PRACTICE ACT
WITH
RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT DEFINE SCOPE OF PRACTICE.
B LIABILITY IS A LEGAL CONCEPT RELATED TO A NURSE’S LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE AND
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OF PRACTICE. RESEARCH DOES NOT CHANGE A NURSE’S LIABILITY.
C NURSING RESEARCH GENERATES A SPECIALIZED SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT
EMPOWERS THE NURSING PROFESSION TO ANTICIPATE AND MEET CONSTANTLY SHIFTING CHALLENGES
OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY TO MULTIPLE POPULATIONS. IT PROVIDES A FOUNDATION FOR
EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING CARE AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES.
D ALTHOUGH RESEARCH CAN DOGCRUMADENET SNUMROSINRGEA.CCCOOUMNTABILITY,
EACH STATE’S NURSE
PRACTICE ACT DEFINES THE SCOPE OF NURSING PRACTICE FOR THAT STATE.
PTS: 1 DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTANDING (COMPREHENSION) REF: PAGE 6
, 2. AN ASPECT OF THE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION OF NURSING PRACTICE THAT IS ALSO A
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT OF AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION (ANA)’S CODE FOR NURSES IS:
A. PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
B. STANDARDS OF CARE.
C. LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE.
D. ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSING ACTIVITIES.
ANSWER: A
FEEDBACK
A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION PROMOTES ACCOUNTABILITY, A HALLMARK OF THE NURSING
PROFESSION AND A FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT OF THE ANA’S CODE FOR NURSES.
B STANDARDS OF CARE ARE DEFINED BY ANA, AS WELL AS SPECIALTY NURSING ORGANIZATIONS.
THE CODE FOR NURSES STATES THAT NURSES SHOULD CONFORM TO STANDARDS, BUT STANDARDS PER
SE ARE NOT PART OF THE CODE.
C LEGAL SCOPE OF PRACTICE IS DEFINED BY EACH STATE’S NURSE PRACTICE ACT AND
ELABORATED IN ITS RULES AND REGULATIONS.
D THE ANA CODE APPLIES TO NURSING PRACTICE IN GENERAL, NOT ADVANCED PRACTICE.
PTS: 1 DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: REMEMBERING (KNOWLEDGE) REF: PAGE 7
3. NURSES NEED TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE NURSING RESEARCH PROCESS:
A. TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SUBJECTS FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES.
B. TO ASSIST AS ACCURATE DATA COLLECTORS IN CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES.
C. TO TEACH PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTICIPATING IN RESEARCH.
D. TO EVALUATE NURSING RESEARCH REPORTS FOR RELEVANCE TO THEIR OWN CLINICAL
PRACTICE.
ANSWER: D
FEEDBACK
A SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION IS DETERMINED BY THE NURSE RESEARCHER.
