TEST BANK FOR UNDERSTANDING NURSING RESEARCH 7TH EDITION BY SUSAN GROVE, JENNIFER GRAY, . ALL CHAPTER QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE GUIDE. GUARANTEED A+ GRADED. Chapter 01: Introduction to Nursing Research and Its Importance in Building an Evidence-Based Practice Grove: Understanding Nursing Research, 7th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. 2. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)? a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values of clients b. A determination of the factors necessary to control client responses to care and delivery of care c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all clients d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance client outcomes CORRECT A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and client needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of client outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific client needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of client outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

Cognitive level: Applying (Application) Which is the most important result of Florence Nightingale’s data collection and statistical analysis during the Crimean War? a. Bringing awareness of the rigors of war to the general public in relation to care practices b. Developing a process for statistical analysis and nursing documentation c. Identifying and defining the role of nurses in modern health care d. Using clinical research to evaluate the need for sanitation, clean drinking water, and adequate nutrition CORRECT D Nightingale’s research enabled her to instigate attitudinal, organizational, and social changes, including the military’s approach to the care of the sick and society’s sense of responsibility for testing public water, improving sanitation, and preventing starvation to decrease morbidity and mortality rates. Bringing awareness of the rigors of war to the public, developing a process for statistical analysis and nursing documentation, and identifying and defining the role of nurses in modern health care were not the most important results. DIFFICULTY: 7. Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension) The nurse participates in data collection in a study in which two different pain management protocols are used with randomly assigned clients to measure differences in postoperative recovery time. Which method of study is this? a. Control b. Correlation c. Description d. Explanation CORRECT A Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired results. Correlation examines the relationships between different phenomena. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. 8. DIFFICULTY: Cognitive level: ApplyinNgU(ARpSplIicaNtiGonT)B.COM The nurse reviews a study exploring experiences of nurses’ decision-making processes regarding reporting a medical error.

Control can be described as the ability to write a Understanding Nursing Research 7th Edition Grove Test Bank prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation. DIFFICULTY: 9. Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension) The development of nursing theories and conceptual models in the late 1960s and 1970s served to a. determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions. b. establish the concept of evidence-based practice. c. provide funding for nursing research. d. provide direction for nursing research. CORRECT D The theories developed in the 1960s and 1970s helped to guide future nursing research and practice. Outcome studies are used to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions. The concept of EBP was developed in the 1970s and promoted by the ANCC Magnet Hospital Designation program. The NINR seeks to provide funding for nursing research. DIFFICULTY: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension) 10. The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) began to change its focus to a. funding nursing rather than medical research. b. evaluating outcomes rather than process studies. c. increasing the status and funding for nursing research. d. supporting the dissemination of nursing research. CORRECT C The National Center for Nursing Research (NCNR) changed its name to the NINR to increase the status and funding of nursing research. The change in focus from medical to nursing research came about with the first nursing programs. Outcomes research emerged in the 1980s and 1990s to document the effectiveness of healthcare services. The NCNR’s purpose was to support the conduct and dissemination of knowledge development through nursing research. DIFFICULTY: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)
