MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nursing research is significant to the profession of nursing because it promotes:
a. more specifically defined nursing practice responsibilities.
b. decreased liability within the practice of nursing.
c. generation of a specialized body of nursing knowledge for use in nursing practice.
d. expansion of the scope of nursing practice into other disciplines.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional guidelines already
exist regarding responsibility. Each state has a Nurse Practice Act with
rules and regulations that define scope of practice.
B Liability is a legal concept related to a nurse’s legal scope of practice and
professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liability.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge base that empowers the
nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of health care delivery to
multiple populations. It provides a foundation for
evidence-based nursing care and quality improvement activities.
D Although research can doNcuUmReSntInNuGrsTinBg .acCcOouMntability, each state’s Nurse
Practice Act defines the scope of nursing practice for that state.

2. An aspect of the scientific investigation of nursing practice that is also a fundamental
concept of American Nurses Association (ANA)’s Code for Nurses is:
a. professional accountability.
b. standards of care.
c. legal scope of practice.

d. advanced practice nursing activities.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Feedback
A Scientific investigation promotes accountability, a hallmark of the nursing
profession and a fundamental concept of the ANA’s Code for Nurses.
B Standards of care are defined by ANA, as well as specialty nursing organizations.
The Code for Nurses states that nurses should conform to standards, but standards per se are not
part of the Code.
C Legal scope of practice is defined by each state’s Nurse Practice Act and
elaborated in its rules and regulations.
D The ANA Code applies to nursing practice in general, not advanced practice.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering (Knowledge) REF: Page 7
3. Nurses need to be able to understand the nursing research process:
a. to identify potential subjects for clinical research studies.
b. to assist as accurate data collectors in clinical research studies.
c. to teach patients and families the importance of participating in research.
d. to evaluate nursing research reports for relevance to their own clinical practice.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Feedback
A Subject identification is determined by the nurse researcher.
B Data collectors need to understand their role in the study; they do not need to understand
the entire research process.
C Subject recruitment is the responsibility of the nurse researcher.
D Nurses need to understand the research process in order to critically read research reports
and determine if nursing practice should incorporate the research findings as valid evidence.
