1. Which i#of i#the i#following i#groups i#would i#be i#best i#served i#by i#the
i#development i#of i#a i#scientific i # base i#for i#nursing i#practice?

A) Nursing i#administrators
B) Practicing i#nurses
C) Nurses' i#clients
D) Health i#care i#policymakers

Ans: i# C
i#Feedback:

Nursing i#research i#is i#systematic i#inquiry i#designed i#to i#develop i#trustworthy
i#evidence i#about i # issues i#of i#importance i#to i#nurses i#and i#their i#clients.


i#Nurse i#leaders i#recognize i#the i#need i#to i#base i # specific i#nursing i#decisions

i#on i#evidence i#indicating i#that i#the i#decisions i#are i#clinically i # appropriate,

i#cost-effective, i#and i#result i#in i#positive i#client i#outcomes. i#Although i#all i#of i#the

i # people i#listed i#would i#benefit i#from i#the i#development i#of i#a i#scientific i#base

i#for i#nursing i # practice, i#ultimately i#it i#is i#the i#clients i#themselves i#who i#would

i#most i#benefit, i#as i#they i#would i # then i#receive i#the i#most i#appropriate i#and

i#most i#effective i#care.




2. An i#especially i#important i#goal i#for i#the i#nursing i#profession i#is i#to i#do i#which i#of i#the

B) Establish i#a i#solid i#base i#of i#evidence i#for i#practice i#through i#disciplined i#research
C) Document i#the i#role i#nursing i#serves i#in i#society
D) Establish i#research i#priorities

Ans: i# B
i#Feedback:

Nurses i#are i#increasingly i#expected i#to i#understand i#and i#undertake i#research
i#and i# to i#base i#their i # practice i#on i#evidence i#from i#research. i#Evidence-based

i#practice i#is i#the i#use i#of i#the i#best i # evidence i#in i#making i#patient i#care

i#decisions i#and i#typically i#comes i#from i#research i#conducted i # by i#nurses i#and

i#other i#health-care i#professionals. i#All i#of i#the i#other i#answers i#are i#possible

i#goals i # for i#the i#nursing i#profession, i#but i#none i#is i#as i#important i#as

i#establishing i#evidence i#for i#practice.




3. Which i#of i#the i#following i#is i#a i#fundamental i#belief i#of i#those i#who i#hold i#to
i#the i#constructivist i # paradigm?

B) The i#nature i#of i#reality i#has i#changed i#over i#time
