1. Which of the following groups would be best served by the development of a scientifi
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


c base for nursing practice?
xz xz xz xz


A) Nursing administrators xz


B) Practicing nurses xz


C) Nurses' clients xz


D) Health care policymakers xz xz




Ans: C F xz xz


eedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to b
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


ase specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically a
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


ppropriate, cost- xz


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


d benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately it i
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


s the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would then receive the most
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


appropriate and most effective care. xz xz xz xz




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


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


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


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


D) Establish research priorities xz xz




Ans: B F xz xz


eedback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base the
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


ir practice on evidence from research. Evidence-
xz xz xz xz xz xz


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


ically comes from research conducted by nurses and other health-
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing professio
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


n, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

3. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the constructivi
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


st paradigm?
xz


A) A fixed reality exists in nature for humans to understand
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz


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


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


D) Reality cannot be studied empirically xz xz xz xz




Ans: C F xz xz


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


er a construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple construct
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz

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

Belief in a fixed reality that exists in nature for humans to understand would be an
