Chapter 01: Introduction to Nursing Research and Its Importance in Building an
Evidence-Based Practice
Grove: Understanding Nursing Research, 8th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical e pertise, and the needs and
z
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 e pertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of
z
patient outcomes are generally e perimental or quasi-e perimental. They may be used to guide
z z
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.

The theories developed in the 1960s and 1970s helped to guide future nursing research and

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

The AACN identified the importance of creating a research culture, providing high-quality
educational programs to prepare a workforce of nurse scientists, develop a sound research
structure, and obtain funding for nursing research. Basic nursing education focuses on clinical

AHRQ is a scientific partner with the public and private sectors to improve the quality and

ANS: A
A study that assesses the effectiveness of interventions helps to improve the health of patient
