1. Which of the following groups would be best served by the development of a sc
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


ientific base for nursing practice?
x@ x@ x@ x@


A) Nursing administrators x@


B) Practicing nurses x@


C) Nurses' clients x@


D) Health care policymakers x@ x@




Ans: C F x@ x@


eedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence a
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


bout issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


need to base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions a
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


re clinically appropriate, cost-
x@ x@ x@


effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the people listed
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x


@would benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ulti
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


mately it is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would then r
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


eceive the most appropriate and most effective care.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




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


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


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


C) Document the role nursing serves in society x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


D) Establish research priorities x@ x@




Ans: B F x@ x@


eedback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to bas
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


e their practice on evidence from research. Evidence-
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions an
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


d typically comes from research conducted by nurses and other health-
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing prof
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


ession, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@




3. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the constr
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


uctivist paradigm? x@


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


B) The nature of reality has changed over time
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


C) Reality is multiply constructed and multiply interpreted by humans
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


D) Reality cannot be studied empirically x@ x@ x@ x@




Ans: C F x@ x@


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


is rather a construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multip
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@

, le constructions of reality. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@


studied empirically.

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