all that apply.
xx xx xx
a. A way of learning a unique language
xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. A way of using old experiences to learn
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. A new way of experiencing reality
xx xx xx xx xx
d. A new way of learning multiple languages
xx xx xx xx xx xx
e. A way of incorporating new rules
xx xx xx xx xx
ANS: A, C, E Nursing research is considered a ―world‖ that is a truly new way of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
experiencing reality. Entering a new world means learning a unique language,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
incorporating new rules, and using new experiences to learn how to interact
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
effectively within the world. The world of nursing research is not a way of using old
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
experiences to learn nor a new way of learning multiple languages.

2. Which are components of evidence-based practice (EBP)? Select all that apply. a. Best
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
research evidence
xx xx
b. Expert opinion consensus xx xx
c. Patient needs and values xx xx xx
d. Safe, cost-effective care xx xx
ANS: A, C, Dxx xx xx
Best research evidence is used to formulate EBP; patient needs and values are used to
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
develop EBP; and safe, cost-effective care is a component of EBP. Expert opinion
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
consensus is not a part of EBP.

,3. A nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is prepared to do which of the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
following?

xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Conduct independent nursing studies. xx xx xx
d. Expand the body of nursing knowledge through independent research.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
ANS: A, B xx xx
The BSN-prepared nurse is capable of appraising and summarizing research findings and
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
assists with the implementation of evidence-based guidelines. The BSN-prepared nurse
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
does not conduct independent nursing studies nor expand the body of nursing
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
knowledge through independent research.

4. Which of the following are characteristics of quantitative research methods? Select all
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
that apply.
xx xx
a. Objective
b. Cause and effect relationships xx xx xx
c. Tests theory xx
d. Develops theory and frameworks xx xx xx
e. Numbers
f. Description variables xx
ANS: A, B, C, E, F xx xx xx xx xx
Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
are used to obtain information about the world. Quantitative research is conducted to
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
test theory by describing variables, examining relationships among variables, and
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
determining cause and effect interactions between variables. Qualitative research
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
findings are unique, dynamic, focused on understanding, and facilitate theory
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
development.

5. Which of the following is a research question for an experimental study? Select all that
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
xx apply.
a. What is it like to live with asthma?NURSINGTB.COM
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x
b. Do children who have an updated asthma action plan have fewer missed school
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
days caused by asthma?
xx xx xx xx
c. Which asthma triggers influence poor attitudes about chronic disease?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
d. Which bronchodilator medication has fewer side effects?
xx xx xx xx xx xx
, ANS: B, D xx xx
Determining which interventions reduce asthma sick days is a controlled, quantitative,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
experimental study design; and a study about the effects of a medication is an
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
experimental study. Asking what it is like to live with asthma will generate qualitative
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
data. A study determining relationships between asthma triggers and attitudes about
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
disease is a correlational study.

MULTIPLE CHOICE xx
1. A researcher conducts a study which outlines the daily habits of women who are
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
overweight.
xx
This study represents what type of research? a. Correlational
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. Descriptive
c. Experimental
d. Quasi-experimental
ANS: B xx
Descriptive research is the exploration and description of phenomena in real-life
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
situations. Correlational research involves the systematic investigation of relationships
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
between or among variables. Experimental research is an objective, systematic, highly
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
controlled investigation conducted for the purpose of predicting and controlling
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
phenomena. The purpose of quasi-experimental research is to examine causal
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
relationships or determine the effect of one variable on another. Thus these studies
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
involve implementing a treatment or intervention and examining the effects of this
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
intervention using selected methods of measurement.
