What is an example of a producer of nursing research? - Answer nurses who actively design nd
undertaker studies
Even if you never conduct a study yourself, you may do one of the five following: - Answer 1.
identify an idea for clinical inquiry
2. assist in collecting research information
3. offer advice to clients about participating in a study
4. search for research evidence
5. discuss implications of a study in a journal club in your practice setting, which involves

What year and where was the establishment of the first Center for Nursing Research? - Answer

(some traditional routines are ineffective, this is considered the leader of EBP)
2. clinical experience, trial and error ( reliable source of knowledge, has limitations as a source
of evidence, nurses experience is too narrow, tends to be disorganized and solutions may be
idiosyncratic- may be done in ones own way)
3. assembled information (has some useful information, but provides no mechanism to actually
guide improvements)
