MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What Is The Highest Priority For The Importance Of Research In The Nursing
Profession?
A) Research Findings Provide Evidence For Informing Nurses' Decisions And Actions.
B) Conduct Research To Better Understand The Context Of Nursing Practice.
C) Document The Role That Nurses Serve In Society.
D) Establish Nursing Research Areas Of Study.
Correct Answer: A
The Primary Goal Of Nursing Research Is To Generate Evidence That Supports Best
Practices And Improves Patient Care. By Providing Reliable Evidence, Research Enables
Nurses To Make Informed Decisions And Deliver High-Quality Care. Although
Understanding Context (B), Documentation (C), And Establishing Study Areas (D) Are
Important, They Are Not The Top Priority Compared To Evidence-Informed Decision-
Making.
2. Which Group Would Be Best Served By Clinical Nursing Research?
A) Nursing Administrators
B) Practicing Nurses
C) Nurses' Clients
,D) Healthcare Policymakers
Correct Answer: C
While Many Groups Benefit From Nursing Research, The Ultimate Goal Of Clinical
Nursing Research Is To Improve Patient Outcomes. Therefore, Patients (Clients) Are The
Primary Beneficiaries. Research Helps Ensure That The Care They Receive Is Safe,
Effective, And Based On The Best Available Evidence.
3. In The United States, In What Area Does Research Play An Important Role In
Nursing?
A) Chronic Illness
B) Credentialing And Status
C) Nurses' Personalities
D) Nurses' Education
Correct Answer: B
In The U.S., Research Is Often Used To Support The Professional Status Of Nursing And
To Justify Credentialing Processes. By Demonstrating The Scientific Basis Of Nursing
Through Research, The Profession Secures Greater Recognition, Respect, And
Autonomy. This Emphasis Goes Beyond Clinical Conditions (A), Personal Traits (C), Or
Just Educational Aspects (D).
4. What Is The Role Of A Consumer Of Nursing Research?
, A) Read Research Reports For Relevant Findings.
B) Participate In Generating Evidence By Doing Research.
C) Participate In Journal Club In A Practice Setting.
D) Solve Clinical Problems And Make Clinical Decisions.
Correct Answer: A
A "Consumer" Of Nursing Research Is Someone Who Applies Existing Research
Findings Rather Than Generating Them. Reading Research Reports To Identify Relevant
Results Helps Inform Clinical Decisions And Improve Care. Participating In Research
(B) Or Journal Clubs (C) Can Help, But Reading And Understanding The Findings Is
Fundamental.
5. What Was The Concern Of Most Nursing Studies In The Early 1900s?
A) Client Satisfaction
B) Clinical Problems
C) Health Promotion
D) Nursing Education
Correct Answer: D
In The Early 20th Century, Nursing Research Was Primarily Focused On Nursing
Education—How Nurses Were Trained And How Nursing Programs Were Structured.
The Emphasis Was On Formalizing The Profession And Establishing Academic
Standards, Rather Than Directly Studying Clinical Outcomes Or Patient Satisfaction.
