beneficience - ANSWER In reasearch, the obligation to do no harm and to maximize
benefits is:
It is more efficient to use electronic databases rather than print resources or general
search engines for retrieving materials. (True or False) - ANSWER True
What is an example of a directional research hypothesis? - ANSWER There will be a
greater decrease in state anxiety scores for patients receiving standard information
videos before abdominal or chest tube removal than for patients receiving standard
instruction.
Directional research hypothesis - ANSWER A directional hypothesis is more specific,
in that the experimenter predicts, not only that a specific relationship will exist, but,
further, the direction of that relationship. For example: non-directional: I predict that
arousal and test performance will be significantly related.
Institutional Review Boards - ANSWER ____________ are boards that review
studies to assess that ethical standards are met in relation to the protection of the
rights of human subjects.
justice - ANSWER The basic ethical principle that human subjects should be treated
fairly
Level I (level of evidence) - ANSWER Systematic Review or Meta-analysis of RCTs
Level II (level of evidence) - ANSWER Well designed Randomized control trials
Level III (level of evidence) - ANSWER Quasiexperimental studies such as controlled
trial without randomization.
Level IV (level of evidence) - ANSWER Non-experimental studies such as a
correlational study.
Level V (level of evidence) - ANSWER Metasynthesis such as systematic review of
descriptive studies.
Level VI (level of evidence) - ANSWER Qualitative Studies
Level VII (level of evidence) - ANSWER Opinion of experts and authorities, expert
committee reports or organizations, not based on research
Which are the components of a clinical question using the PICOT format? -
ANSWER Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time (PICOT)
, What is the primary difference between qualitative and quantitative research? -
ANSWER A qualitative study seeks to interpret meaning and phenomena, whereas
quantative research seeks to test a hypothesis or answer a research question.
Qualitative - ANSWER An author published an article examining the lived human
experience of individuals who experienced recent loss of a significant other. This is
what type of research?
What is the goal of quality improvement? - ANSWER To bring about measurable
changes across the six domains of quality health care by applying specific
methodologies within a care setting.
Research Question - ANSWER A research question presents the idea that is being
examined and a hypothesis attempts to answer the question.
Hypothesis - ANSWER A research question presents the idea that is being
examined and a hypothesis attempts to answer the question.
review of literature - ANSWER An extensive, systematic, and critical review of the
most important published scholarly literature on a particular topic. In most cases it is
not considered exhaustive.
Correlational Study - ANSWER A type of non-experimental research design that
examines the relationship between two or more variables.
Is there a relationship between x (independent variable) and y (dependent variable)
in the specified population?
Comparative Study - ANSWER Is there a difference in y (dependent variable)
between two people who have x characteristic (independent variable) and those who
do not have x characteristic?
Experimental Study - ANSWER Is there a difference in y (dependent variable)
between Group A who received x (independent variable) and Group B who did not
receive x?
Qualitative Grounded theory - ANSWER What is it like to have x?
Respect for Persons - ANSWER The concept that people have the right to self-
determination and to treatment as autonomous agents is:
An autobiography - ANSWER Which is an example of a primary source?
Mortality - ANSWER The loss of a study subject from the data collection point
(pretest) to the second data collection point (posttest)
Selection - ANSWER Refers to the generalizability of the results to other populations
Reactivity - ANSWER Defined as the subjects' responses to being studied
