Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring
v v v v v v v v v v v




1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


handwashing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in acute care
v v v v v v v v v v v


settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This indicates that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
v v v v v v v v v v v




B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
v v v v v v v




D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
v v v v v v v v v




Ans: B v




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


when appraising the results of this study?
v v v v v v v




A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
v v v v v v v v v v v




B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


findings?

C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the phenomenon in
v v v v v v v v v v v v


question?
v




D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
v v v v v v v v v v




Ans: A v




Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


qualitative methodology.

3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague best
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


defend the importance of nursing research?
v v v v v v


v




A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal grant
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


money, something that didnt use to be the case.
v v v v v v v v v




B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and has
v v v v v v v v v v v v


greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
v v v v v v v




C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true profession,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
v v v v v v v v v




D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice and
v v v v v v v v v v v v


patient outcomes.

Ans: D v




Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.

4. Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit of a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their babies
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage more
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research project
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?
v v v v v v v v




A) Applying for grant funding for the research project v v v v v v v




B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers
v v v v v v v v v




C) Planning the methodology of the research project v v v v v v




D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication Ans: B
v v v v v v v v v v v




Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research. Grant
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally carried out by
v v v v v v v v v v v


nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
v v v v v v v




5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to patient
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


by a research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nurse
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


respond to this revelation?
v v v v




A) Explain the research process to the patient in greater detail.
v v v v v v v v v




B) Describe the details of a randomized controlled trial for the patient.
