Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of
Caring
1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the
effect of hand washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-
acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article presented
findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This indicates that
A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99%
similar.
B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being
attributable to chance.
C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
Ans: B
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher
believes that the study results most likely represent a no chance event. A
level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there is less than 1%
probability that the result is due to chance.
2. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of
nursing research, claiming that nursing research has little relevance to
practice. How can the nurses colleague best defend the importance of
nursing research?
,A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to
access federal grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
, B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral
programs and has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as
a true profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve
nursing practice and patient outcomes.
Ans: D
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to
improve practice and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This
supersedes the contributions of nursing research to education programs,
grant funding, or the public view of the profession.
3. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand
the lived experience of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the
following questions should the nurse prioritize when appraising the results of
this study?
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these
parents?
