1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of handwa
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
wshi ng on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-
w w w w w w w
acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
wsignifican ce of <0.01. This indicates that w w w w w w
A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
w w w w w w w w w w w
B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
w w w w w w w
D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
w w w w w w w w w
Ans: B w
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
stu dy results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
windicate s that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experien
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
wce of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse
w w w w w w w w w w w 2i w w w
prior itize when appraising the results of this study?
w w w w w w w w w
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
w w w w w w w w w w w
B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected
w w w w w w w w w w w w

C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the phenomenon
w w w w w w w w w w w
i n question?
w w w
D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
w w w w w w w w w w
Ans: A w
Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the su
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
bjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a quali
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
t ative methodology.

3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
cla iming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
b est de fend the importance of nursing research?
w w w w w w w w w
A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
gra nt money, something that didnt use to be the case.
w w w w w w w w w w w
B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and
w w w w w w w w w w w
ha s greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
w w w w w w w w w
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
professio n, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
w w w w w w w w w w w
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice
w w w w w w w w w w w
an d patient outcomes.
