,CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION TO NURSING RESEARCH AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN
BUILDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE
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
ACCURATE 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. THE NURSE IS COLLECTING DATA ABOUT THE SLEEP PATTERNS OF BREASTFED BABIES AS PART
OF A LARGER RESEARCH STUDY. WHICH RESEARCH METHOD WILL THE NURSE USE WHEN COLLECTING
DATA FOR THIS STUDY?
A. CONTROL
B. DESCRIPTION
C. EXPLANATION
D. PREDICTION
ACCURATE ANS>>B
, DESCRIPTION INVOLVES IDENTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF NURSING PHENOMENA
AND THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THESE PHENOMENA. CONTROL CAN BE DESCRIBED AS THE ABILITY TO
WRITE A PRESCRIPTION TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED RESULTS. EXPLANATION CLARIFIES THE
RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PHENOMENA AND IDENTIFIES WHY CERTAIN EVENTS OCCUR. THROUGH
PREDICTION, THE PROBABILITY OF A SPECIFIC OUTCOME CAN BE ESTIMATED IN A GIVEN SITUATION.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTANDING (COMPREHENSION)
3. THE NURSE IS PARTICIPATING IN A STUDY AND IS COLLECTING DATA IDENTIFYING THE NUMBER
OF OBESE ADULTS WHOSE PARENTS WERE ALSO OBESE OR OVERWEIGHT. WHICH RESEARCH METHOD
IS BEING USED IN THIS STUDY?
A. CONTROL
B. DESCRIPTION
C. EXPLANATION
D. PREDICTION
ACCURATE ANS>>D
THROUGH PREDICTION, THE PROBABILITY OF A SPECIFIC OUTCOME CAN BE ESTIMATED IN A GIVEN
SITUATION. BY KNOWING THE PERCENTAGE OF PARENTS OF OBESE ADULTS WHO WERE OBESE, THE
PROBABILITY OF PREDICTING THIS MAY BE CALCULATED. CONTROL INDICATES THE ABILITY TO USE A
PRESCRIBED INTERVENTION TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED RESULTS. DESCRIPTION INVOLVES IDENTIFYING
AND UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF NURSING PHENOMENA AND THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG
THESE PHENOMENA. EXPLANATION CLARIFIES THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PHENOMENA AND
IDENTIFIES WHY CERTAIN EVENTS OCCUR.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: APPLYING (APPLICATION)
4. THE NURSE REVIEWS A STUDY IN WHICH ADHERENCE TO AN ASTHMA ACTION PLAN IS
COMPARED AMONG GROUPS OF YOUNG ADULTS WHO RECEIVED DIFFERENT ASTHMA EDUCATION.
WHICH RESEARCH METHOD DOES THIS REPRESENT?
A. CONTROL
B. DESCRIPTION
C. EXPLANATION
D. PREDICTION
