D) Health care policymakers mj mj




Ans: C F mj mj


eedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence abou
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj


t issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj


base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically

appropriate, cost-
mj mj


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


uld benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj


it is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would then receive the

most appropriate and most effective care.

Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base th

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

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

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

vist paradigm? mj


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

B) The nature of reality has changed over time

C) Reality is multiply constructed and multiply interpreted by humans

D) Reality cannot be studied empirically mj mj mj mj




Ans: C F mj mj


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