RN COMPREHENSIVE PREDICTOR 2019 FORM B
An obstetrical nurse wishes to identify whether clients’ perceptions of a high level of support from their
partner is associated with a decreased length of the second stage of labor. Which type of quantitative
research is most appropriate
1. for this research question?
A) Correlational research
B) Descriptive research
C) Quasi-experimental research
D) Experimental research
Ans: A
Feedback:
Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In this
case, the variables are perceptions of partner support and length of Stage 2 labor. There is no manipulation
of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The focus on the
relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events.
Nurse researchers have predicted that a newly created mentorship program will result in decreased
absenteeism, increased retention, and decreased attrition among a hospital’s nursing staff. Which of the
following does this predicted
2. relationship represent?
A) Hypothesis
B) Dependent variable
N
C) Abstract
D) Methodology
Ans: A
Feedback:
A hypothesis is an expected statement of the relationship between variables in a study. In this study, the
dependent variables are absenteeism, retention, and attrition while the independent variable is the
mentorship program. The methodology of a study is the logistical framework that guides the planning and
execution of the study. An abstract is a summary of a research study published in a journal.
3. The practice of changing patients’ bedclothes each day in acute care settings is an example of what type of knowledge?
A) Authoritative
B) Traditional
C) Scientific
D) Applied
Ans: B
Feedback:
Changing bedclothes daily in acute care settings is an example of traditional knowledge. The practice is not
based on research findings, but is rather a part of nursing practice passed down from generation to
generation.

, A student nurse learns how to give injections from the nurse manager. This is an example of the
acquisition of what type
4. of knowledge?
A) Authoritative
B) Traditional
C) Scientific
D) Applied
Ans: A
Feedback:
Authoritative knowledge comes from an expert and is accepted as truth, based on the
person’s perceived expertise. Authoritative knowledge generally remains unchallenged as
long as the presumed authority maintains his or her perceived expertise.
A client undergoing chemotherapy for a brain tumor believes that having a good attitude will help in
the healing process.
5. This is an example of what type of knowledge?
A) Science
B) Philosophy
C) Process
D) Virtue
Ans: B
N
Feedback:
Philosophy is the study of wisdom, fundamental knowledge, and the processes used to
develop and construct one’s perceptions of life. Philosophy provides a viewpoint and
implies a system of values and beliefs. Each individual develops a personal philosophy to
give meaning to experiences and to guide behavior and attitudes. Personal philosophies
are developed by learning from interpersonal relationships, through formal and informal
educational experiences, through religion and culture, and from the environment.
