:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


about issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


need to base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


clinically appropriate, cost-effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


all of the people listed would benefit from the development of a scientific base for
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


nursing practice, ultimately it is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


would then receive the most appropriate and most effective care.

Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their

practice on evidence from research. Evidence-based practice is the use of the best
pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi


evidence in making patient care decisions and typically comes from research conducted

bynurses and other health-care professionals.All of the other answers are possible goals

for the nursing profession, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rathera
