, COMPREHENSIVE NURS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ LATEST 2026/2027
◉ Which assessments of care providers are performed as part of the
value-based purchasing (VBP) initiative? (Select all that apply.) p. 1
a. Appraising costs per case of care for Medicare patients
b. Assessing patients' satisfaction with hospital care
c. Evaluating available evidence to guide clinical care guidelines
d. Monitoring mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia
e. Requiring advanced IT standards and minimum cash reserves.
Value-based purchasing looks at five domain areas of processes of
care, including efficiency of care (cost per case), experience of care
(patient satisfaction measures), and outcomes of care (mortality
rates for certain conditions). Evaluation of evidence to guide clinical
care is part of evidence-based practice. The requirements for IT
standards and financial status are
part of Accountable Care Organization standards
◉ What is the purpose of Level II research? p. 6
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment
,c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables.
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships
among characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to
define the characteristics of groups of patients. Level II research
evaluates the nature of the relationships between variables. Level IV
research is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of
interventions or treatments.
◉ Which is the most appropriate research design for a Level III
research study? p. 6
a. Epidemiological studies
b. Experimental design
c. Qualitative studies
d. Randomized clinical trials.
The experimental design is the most appropriate design for a Level
III study. Epidemiological studies are appropriate for Level II
studies. Qualitative designs are useful for Level I studies.
Randomized clinical trials are used for Level IV studies.
◉ What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of
translational research? p. 6
a. Adoption of interventions and clinical practices into routine
clinical care
, b. Determination of the basis of disease and various treatment
options
c. Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions
d. Exploration of fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or
behavior.
Clinical research trials are concerned with determining the
safety and effectiveness of interventions. Adoption of
interventions and practices is part of clinical implementation.
Determination of the basis of disease and treatment options is
part of the preclinical research phase. Exploration of the
fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or behavior is part
of the basic research stage.
◉ Which statement made by a health care provider demonstrates
the most appropriate understanding for the goal of a performance
report?
a. "This process allows me to critique the performance of the rest of
the staff."
b. "Most organizations require staff to undergo a performance
evaluation yearly."
c. "It is hard to be personally criticized but that's how we learn to
change."
d. "The comments should help me improve my management skills."
