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.
answer: a
rationale:
the primary goal of nursing research is to generate evidence that informs clinical
decisions and improves patient outcomes. evidence-based practice (ebp) depends on

directly supports nursing care quality and patient safety.
dif: moderate
2. which group would be best served by clinical nursing research?
a) nursing administrators
b) practicing nurses
c) nurses' clients
d) healthcare policymakers
answer: c
rationale:
,4 part 1. overview of nursing research and its role in evidence-based practice
the ultimate beneficiary of clinical nursing research is the patient or client. research leads
to the development of best practices that enhance care quality, safety, and outcomes,
which directly benefit the clients receiving care.
dif: easy
3. in the united states, in what area does research play an important role in nursing?
a) chronic illness
b) credentialing and status

7. what is the process of deductive reasoning?
a) verifying assumptions that are part of our heritage.
b) developing specific predictions from general principles.
c) empirically testing observations that are made known through our senses.
d) forming generalizations from specific observations.
