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



base for nursing practice?
mf mf mf mf



A) Nursing administrators mf



B) Practicing nurses mf



C) Nurses' clients mf



D) Health care policymakers mf mf




Ans: C Fe mf mf



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



issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to bas
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



e specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically appr
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



opriate, cost- mf



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



benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately it is t
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



he clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would then receive the most app

ropriate and most effective care. mf mf mf mf




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

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



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

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



D) Establish research priorities mf mf




Ans: B Fe mf mf



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



practice on evidence from research. Evidence-
mf mf mf mf mf mf



based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and typic

ally comes from research conducted by nurses and other health-
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



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



but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

paradigm?

A) A f ixed reality exists in nature for humans to understand

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



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



D) Reality cannot be studied empirically mf mf mf mf




Ans: C F mf mf



eedback:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rathe
