NURS 3205 Research questions with correct answers
Research Correct Answer-Systematic inquiry using disciplined methods
to answer questions or solve problems
Nursing research Correct Answer-Systematic inquiry to develop
trustworthy evidence about issues of importance to nurses and their
clients
Clinical nursing research Correct Answer-Nursing research designed to
guide nursing practice
Evidence-based practice (EBP) Correct Answer-The use of the best
clinical evidence in making patient care decisions
The basis for nursing decisions; influences many recent clinical practice
changes
Produces decisions that are clinically appropriate, cost-effective, and
result in positive client outcomes
Typical Roles of Nurses in Research Correct Answer-Contribute an idea
for a clinical inquiry
Assist in collecting research information
Offer advice to clients about participating in a study
Search for research evidence
Discuss the implications of a study in a journal club in a practice setting;
meeting to discuss research articles
,Nursing Research: Past and Present Correct Answer-1850s: Pioneered
by Florence Nightingale
1950s: First journal on research (Nursing Research) helped to propel
nursing research
1980s: Clinical research increasingly important
1986: National Center for Nursing Research established at NIH
1993: National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) established
2000s: NINR budget in 2016 just under $150 million
Future Directions for Nursing Research Correct Answer-Continued
focus on evidence-based practice
Stronger evidence through confirmatory strategies
Continued emphasis on systematic reviews
Expanded local research in health care settings (e.g., Magnet schools)
Expanded dissemination of research findings
Increased focus on cultural issues and health disparities
Clinical significance and patient input
NINR's Strategic Plan: Five Areas of Focus Correct Answer-Promoting
health and preventing disease
Symptom management and self-management
End-of-life and palliative care
Innovation
The development of nurse scientists
,Sources of Evidence for Nursing Practice Correct Answer-Tradition and
authority
Clinical experience and trial and error
Assembled information
Benchmarking data and quality improvement and risk data
Disciplined research: best method of acquiring reliable knowledge;
evidence-based findings
Paradigm Correct Answer-World view or general perspective of the
world's complexities
Key paradigms for nursing research Correct Answer-Positivist paradigm
Constructivist paradigm
Positive Correct Answer-Reality exists; real world driven by natural
causes
Researcher is independent from those researched.
Values and biases are to be held in check.
Constructivist Correct Answer-Reality is multiple and subjective.
Researcher interacts with those being researched.
Subjectivity and values are inevitable and desirable.
, Research Methods Correct Answer-The techniques used to structure a
study and to gather, analyze, and interpret information
Quantitative research Correct Answer-most closely allied with the
positivist tradition
constructivist researchers sometimes collect quantitative information
Qualitative research Correct Answer-associated with the constructivist
tradition
Positivists sometimes undertake qualitative studies
Quantitative Correct Answer-Orderly procedures
Systematic/prespecified plan
Control over context
Formal measurement
Empirical evidence
Seeks generalizations
Qualitative Correct Answer-Dynamic design
Holistic
Context-bound
Humans as instruments
Qualitative information
Seeks patterns
