For Evidence-Based Practice, 10th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nursing Research Is Significant To The Profession Of Nursing Because It Promotes:
a. More Specifically Defined Nursing Practice Responsibilities.
b. Decreased Liability Within The Practice Of Nursing.
c. Generation Of A Specialized Body Of Nursing Knowledge For Use In Nursing Practice.
d. Expansion Of The Scope Of Nursing Practice Into Other Disciplines.
CORRECT ANS>>C
Feedback
A Research Aids In Documenting Accountability Of Nurses, But Professional
Guidelines Already Exist Regarding Responsibility. Each State Has A Nurse
Practice Act With Rules And Regulations That Define Scope Of Practice.
B Liability Is A Legal Concept Related To A Nurse’s Legal Scope Of Practice And
Professional Standards Of Practice. Research Does Not Change A Nurse’s
Liability.
C Nursing Research Generates A Specialized Scientific Knowledge Base That
Empowers The Nursing Profession To Anticipate And Meet Constantly Shifting
Challenges Of Health Care Delivery To Multiple Populations. It Provides A
Foundation For
Evidence-Based Nursing Care And Quality Improvement Activities.

2. An Aspect Of The Scientific Investigation Of Nursing Practice That Is Also A Fundamental
Concept Of American Nurses Association (ANA)’S Code For Nurses Is:
a. Professional Accountability.
b. Standards Of Care.
c. Legal Scope Of Practice.
d. Advanced Practice Nursing Activities.
CORRECT ANS>>A
Feedback
A Scientific Investigation Promotes Accountability, A Hallmark Of The Nursing

B Standards Of Care Are Defined By ANA, As Well As Specialty Nursing
Organizations. The Code For Nurses States That Nurses Should Conform To
Standards, But Standards Per Se Are Not Part Of The Code.
C Legal Scope Of Practice Is Defined By Each State’s Nurse Practice Act And
Elaborated In Its Rules And Regulations.
D The ANA Code Applies To Nursing Practice In General, Not Advanced Practice.

3. Nurses Need To Be Able To Understand The Nursing Research Process:
a. To Identify Potential Subjects For Clinical Research Studies.
b. To Assist As Accurate Data Collectors In Clinical Research Studies.
c. To Teach Patients And Families The Importance Of Participating In Research.
d. To Evaluate Nursing Research Reports For Relevance To Their Own Clinical Practice.
CORRECT ANS>>D
Feedback
A Subject Identification Is Determined By The Nurse Researcher.
B Data Collectors Need To Understand Their Role In The Study; They Do Not Need
To Understand The Entire Research Process.
C Subject Recruitment Is The Responsibility Of The Nurse Researcher.
D Nurses Need To Understand The Research Process In Order To Critically Read
Research Reports And Determine If Nursing Practice Should Incorporate The
Research Findings
As Valid Evidence.

4. The Action That Demonstrates The Role Of A Knowledgeable Consumer Of Nursing Research Is:
a. Designing A Nursing Research Study.
b. Analyzing Data To Determin e a study’s outcomes.
g RAdesmore.CoM
c. evaluating the credibility of research findings.
D. Implementing An Intervention Found To Be Effective In One Clinical Case Study.
CORRECT ANS>>C
Feedback
A A Consumer Uses And Applies Research To Practice But Is Not Responsible For
Designing A Study.
B A Consumer Does Not Conduct Data Analysis Of A Study; The Study’s Primary
Investigator Analyzes Data.
C A Consumer Of Nursing Research Needs To Understand The Research Process To
Determine The Merit And Relevance Of Evidence Presented In Research Studies.
D A Consumer Would Not Implement An Intervention On The Basis Of A Single
Case Study.

5. Members Of The Nursing Staff Are To Participate In A Unit-Based Clinical Research Study.
Which Research-Related Actions Would Be Expected Of A Nurse With A Baccalaureate
Nursing Degree?
