Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence ab

out issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the nee

d to base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are cli

nically appropriate, cost-

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

tivist paradigm? cm

B) The nature of reality has changed over time

D) Reality cannot be studied empirically cm cm cm cm




Ans: C F cm cm


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


rather a construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple co

, nstructions of reality. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be studied

empirically.
