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


base for nursing practice?
q q q q


A) Nursing administrators q


B) Practicing nurses q


C) Nurses' clients q


D) Health care policymakers q q




Ans: C q


Feedback:
q


Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about
q q q q q q q q q q


issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to base
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


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


appropriate, cost-effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the
q q q q q q q q q q q q


people listed would benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


practice, ultimately it is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


then receive the most appropriate and most effective care.

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


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


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


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


D) Establish research priorities q q




Ans: B q


Feedback:
q


Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their
q q q q q q q q q q q q


practice on evidence from research. Evidence-based practice is the use of the best
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


evidence in making patient care decisions and typically comes from research conducted
q q q q q q q q q q q q


by nurses and other health-care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


for the nursing profession, 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 constructivist
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


paradigm?
q


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


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


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


D) Reality cannot be studied empirically q q q q




Ans: C q


qFeedback
:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qa construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constructions
q q q q q q q q q q q q q


qof reality. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be studied empirically.
