Answer Section
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. ANS: B
Rationale: Clinical research is a structured process of investigating facts and theories and exploring
connections. The purpose of clinical research is related to improving individual and population
health.
DIF: Easy OBJ: 1
2. ANS: A
Rationale: Clinical research is also known as applied research as it has an application to clinical
practice. Basic research and animal studies primarily focus on the study of theories and mechanisms
of disease and treatment. Evidence-based practice utilizes clinical research but is not a form of
research.
DIF: Easy OBJ: 1
3. ANS: A
Rationale: Social constructivism is focused on the belief that all reality is fundamentally social, and therefore
the only way to understand it is through an individual’s experience. Qualitative research focuses on the
investigation of these socially constructed realities through immersion, interviews and observation.

4. ANS: D
Rationale: Bench research is also known as basic or preclinical research and includes research
focused on theories and understanding mechanism of disease or treatment. The three-part definition
of clinical research from the NIH includes patient-oriented research, epidemiological and behavioral
studies, and outcomes research and health sciences research.
DIF: Easy OBJ: 1
5. ANS: D
Rationale: The research question needs to be identified through a review of the literature to provide a
rationale of the study to justify why the study needs to be conducted prior to data collection. The
other steps follow the development of the research question.
DIF: Easy OBJ: 3
6. ANS: D
Rationale: Evidence-based practice relates to the use of best evidence along with clinical expertise
and patient values in making clinical decisions. Therefore, evidence-based practice utilizes research
findings which have been disseminated. Utilization of evidence in practice can also relate to the
development of new research questions. The design of the study, implementation of the study and
analysis of the data are important steps in conducting research studies.
