1. Which of the following groups would be best served by the development of a scientific base
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



for nursing practice?
n n n



A) Nursing administrators n



B) Practicing nurses n



C) Nurses' clients n



D) Health care policymakers n n




Ans: C Fe n n



edback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about issu
n n n n n n n n n n n



es of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to base specific
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically appropriate, cost-
n n n n n n n n n n n



effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the people listed would ben
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



efit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately it is the clients t
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



hemselves who would most benefit, as they would then receive the most appropriate and mo
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



st effective care.

2. An especially important goal for the nursing profession is to do which of the following?
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



A) Conduct research to better understand the context of nursing practice n n n n n n n n n



B) Establish a solid base of evidence for practice through disciplined research n n n n n n n n n n



C) Document the role nursing serves in society n n n n n n



D) Establish research priorities n n




Ans: B Fe n n



edback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their pra
n n n n n n n n n n n n n



ctice on evidence from research. Evidence-
n n n n n



based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and typically c
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



omes from research conducted by nurses and other health-
n n n n n n n n



care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing profession, but
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.
n n n n n n n n




3. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the constructivist para
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



digm?
A) A fixed reality exists in nature for humans to understand
n n n n n n n n n



B) The nature of reality has changed over time n n n n n n n



C) Reality is multiply constructed and multiply interpreted by humans n n n n n n n n



D) Reality cannot be studied empirically n n n n




Ans: C Fe n n



edback:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather a con
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



struction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constructions of reality
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n



. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be studied empirically.
