NURS 360 Quiz #1 (Chapters 1,2, and 3) Questions With
Complete Solutions
An effective clinical question for EBP includes: Correct
Answers - a concern that someone has studied
- focuses on a concern that can be measured or described
- the concern is relevant to my scope of practice
- should provide info about what the HCP wants or needs to do
Describe qualitative studies procedures Correct Answers They
involve the SYSTEMATIC OBSERVATIONS or OPEN and
UNSTRUCTURED INTERVIEWS (e.g. videos or tapes). They
look as much as possible at the whole phenomena being studied.
Researchers keep detailed notes and observe natural occurring
conditions and subjectivity
Describe quantitative study procedures
- What does it involve? Correct Answers Involve actions to
ISOLATE and EXAMINE; clearly defining and examining that
which is believed to be relevant to the problem being studied
- involves CONTROL and OBJECTIVITY
- involves taking measurements (the specific methods used to
assign a number or numbers to an aspect or factor being studied)
,How are research methods broadly categorized? Correct
Answers They are categorized under qualitative, quantitative,
and mixed methods
How do you design a clinical question using PICO or PICOT?
Correct Answers P: population you are interested in studying
I: intervention (the TREATMENT or intervention of interest)
C: Comparison (the intervention you are comparing to the
intervention in question)
O: Outcomes (the outcomes you are planning to measure)
T: Time of data collection (the time during the disease trajectory
for example)
How does a systematic review differ from a metasynthesis or
meta-analysis? Correct Answers differs because they will
address a clinical question and they do not generally apply
statistical procedures to the info collected from individual
studies or develop a systematic meta summary of the content of
each study
How does the process of asking a PICO/PICOT question vs. a
four w's question differ? Correct Answers It differs because the
latter contain a comparison element
, How is HC research defined? How is it used? What does it
include? Correct Answers The systematic gathering of info to
gain, expand, or validate knowledge about H and responses to H
problems. EBP uses research based evidence (EBI) to
plan/implement quality care
1. must describe the systematic gathering to answer questions
2. must have been gathered to answer a question that addresses a
gap in our knowledge about HC
How is reading/interpreting a research review different from
reading/interpreting a research report? Correct Answers You
must answer the questions at two different levels.
You must consider the methods for the different studies included
in the review
You must also consider the rationale for the use of a systematic
review approach to the clinical question
Mixed methods Correct Answers focus on elements of both
qualitative and quantitative methods by describing individuals'
personal experiences, feelings, or perceptions, and the
measurable portions of the variables (used to be considered less
scientific)
Qualitative Research
