NURSING RESEARCH
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. NURSES WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN NURSING CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE- BASED PROTOCOLS IN PRACTICE. THIS
MEANS THAT THE BSN NURSE
a. DEVELOPS EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES
b. DESIGNS RESEARCH STUDIES, ON WHICH PROTOCOLS MAY BE BASED
c. EVALUATES AND REVISES EVIDENCE-BASED PROTOCOLS
d. CONTRIBUTES PRACTICE WISDOM WHEN APPLYING PROTOCOLS IN
PATIENT SETTINGS
e. MENTORS PHD RESEARCHERS IN THE CLINICAL SETTING DURING
PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT
ANS: D
NURSES WITH A BSN DEGREE HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS
AND SKILLS IN READING AND CRITICALLY APPRAISING STUDIES. THEY
ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES,
PROTOCOLS, ALGORITHMS, AND POLICIES IN PRACTICE. THIS IMPLIES THAT
NURSES PROVIDE THEIR POINT OF VIEW, FROM THE CLINICIAN’S VANTAGE,
WHEN NEW PROTOCOLS ARE BEING PUT INTO PRACTICE, AND CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE FEEDBACK, REGARDING THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF
THOSE PROTOCOLS.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: ANALYSIS REF: PAGE 4
2. RESEARCH IS DESIGNED TO TEST THE IDEA OF PROVIDING COMPANION DOGS
TO ELDERS IN A MAJOR HOSPITAL, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT
UPON THE ELDERS’ LEVEL OF ORIENTATION. (THE DOGS’ LEVEL OF
ORIENTATION WILL NOT BE A FOCUS OF THE RESEARCH.) THIS TYPE OF
STUDY CAN DO WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING?
a. CONTROL
b. DESCRIBE
c. EXPLAIN
d. PREDICT
ANS: A
CONTROL IS THE ABILITY TO MANIPULATE THE SITUATION TO PRODUCE THE
DESIRED OUTCOME. DESCRIPTION INVOLVES IDENTIFYING AND
UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF NURSING PHENOMENA AND, SOMETIMES,
THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THEM. EXPLANATION CLARIFIES THE
RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PHENOMENA AND IDENTIFIES THE REASONS WHY
CERTAIN EVENTS OCCUR. THE ABILITY TO ESTIMATE THE PROBABILITY OF A
SPECIFIC OUTCOME IN A GIVEN SITUATION IN NURSING PRACTICE IS KNOWN
AS PREDICTION. THE RESEARCHER’S FOCUS IS ON PREDICTING WHAT IS
LIKELY.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: APPLICATION REF: PAGE 13
3. A RESEARCHER WANTS TO FIND OUT WHETHER CHILDREN WITH AUTISM
WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED ON A PEDIATRIC WARD WILL REQUIRE MORE HOURS
OF NURSING CARE THAN AVERAGE CHILDREN WHEN THE PARENTS OR
, CAREGIVERS ARE NOT PRESENT. WHAT TYPE OF RESEARCH OUTCOME DOES
THIS PROVIDE?
a. CONTROL
b. DESCRIPTION
c. EXPLANTATION
d. PREDICTION
