Nursing Research - ANSWER: A scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and
Generate New knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice. pg 3
Research - ANSWER: means to "search again" or examine carefully. It is a deligent, systematic inquiry
that validates and refines existing knowledge and develops new knowledge.
Evidence based practice (EBP) - ANSWER: EBP evolves from the integration of the Best Research
Evidence, with Clinical Evidence and Patient's needs/values; delivery of high-quality, cost-effective
care.
Best research evidence - ANSWER: Best Research Evidence generated from the synthesis of quality
study findings to address a practice problem. I.e., Team of experts synthesize the best research
evidence to develop standardized guidelines for clinical practice, I.e., Develop EBP guideline for the
problem of HTN
Clinical expertise - ANSWER: Clinical experience, current knowledge or research literature and
educational preparation.
JNC7 - ANSWER: The Seventh Report of The Joint National Committe on Prevention, Detection,
Evaluation and Tx of High Blood Pressure, is an example of the extensive research that is needed to
develop sound empirical knowledge for synthesis into best research evidence needed for practice or
the mgmt of HTN.
Description, research focused on - ANSWER: identification and understanding of a nurisng
phenomena, and sometimes the relationship among them, Research focused on descriptions include,
ID the cluster of symptoms for a particular disease, determination of the incidence of disease (I.e.,
West Nile virus in Texas).
Explanation, research focused on - ANSWER: Clarifies the relationship among variables and Identifies
possible reasons why certain events occur. I.e., Nursing Characteristics and Staffing are potential
predictors of the incidence of MRSA infections and falls. Thus explanatory research can ID
relationships that can be the basis for future research focused on prediction and control.
Prediction - ANSWER: Estimates the probability of a specific outcome in a given situation. I.e.,
Prediction of behaviors that promote health and prevent illness
Control - ANSWER: If one can Predict the outcome of a situation, the next step is to control or
manipulate the situation to produce the descired outcome. Ie., Evidenced based guidelines for IM
injections helps control adequate administration of medication, minimal pt discomfort, and no
physical damage to the patient.
Purpose of Evidence Based Nursing Practice - ANSWER: Description (ID nursing phenomena &
relationships), Prediction and Control.
Historical Development of Research in nursing based on - ANSWER: Florence Nightingale, RN Research
1900s-1970's, RN Research 1980's and 1990s, and RN research in the 21 Century.
