Ans: C F c+ c+
eedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence abou
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+
t issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+
base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c
+appropriate, cost- c+
effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the people listed wou
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+
ld benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing practice, ultimately it
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c

Ans: B F c+ c+
eedback:
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base th
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+
eir practice on evidence from research. Evidence-
c+ c+ c+ c+ c+ c+
based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and ty

In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rat
