Understanding Nursing Research 7th Edition Grove Test Bank Downloaded by charity nimo () Chapter 01: Introduction to Nursing Research and Its Importance in Building an Evidence-Based Practice Grove: Understanding Nursing Research, 7th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)? a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values of patients b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and delivery of care c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes ANS: A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP. DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge) 2.

Identifying and defining the role of nurses in modern health care lOMoAR cPSD| Downloaded by charity nimo () d. Using clinical research to evaluate the need for sanitation, clean drinking water, lOMoAR cPSD| Downloaded by charity nimo () and adequate nutrition ANS: D Nightingale’s research enabled her to instigate attitudinal, organizational, and social changes, including the military’s approach to the care of the sick and society’s sense of responsibility for testing public water, improving sanitation, and preventing starvation to decrease morbidity and mortality rates. Bringing awareness of the rigors of war to the public, developing a process for statistical analysis and nursing documentation, and identifying and defining the role of nurses in modern health care were not the most important results.

The development of nursing theories and conceptual models in the late 1960s and 1970s served to a. determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions. b. establish the concept of evidence-based practice. lOMoAR cPSD| Downloaded by charity nimo () c. provide funding for nursing research. d. provide direction for nursing research. lOMoAR cPSD| Downloaded by charity nimo () ANS: D The theories developed in the 1960s and 1970s helped to guide future nursing research and practice. Outcome studies are used to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions. The concept of EBP was developed in the 1970s and promoted by the ANCC Magnet Hospital Designation program. The NINR seeks to provide funding for nursing research. DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension) 10. The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) began to change its focus to a. funding nursing rather than medical research. b. evaluating outcomes rather than process studies. c. increasing the status and funding for nursing research. d. supporting the dissemination of nursing research. ANS: C The National Center for Nursing Research (NCNR) changed its name to the NINR to increase the status and funding of nursing research. The change in focus from medical to nursing research came about with the first nursing programs. Outcomes research emerged in the 1980s and 1990s to document the effectiveness of healthcare services. The NCNR’s purpose was to support the conduct and dissemination of knowledge development through nursing research. DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)
