1) What is the best reason that scholars consider Florence Nightingale to be the first
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



nurseresearcher?
fu



A) She changed nursing by basing her practice on her research findings.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



B) She identified a body of knowledge unique to nursing.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu




C) She collected data in a systematic fashion.
fu fu fu fu fu fu



D) She communicated the data collected to other
fu fu fu fu fu fu



nurses.Answer: A
fu



Explanation: A) Florence Nightingale used the research process as an entity and did not merely
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



use some aspects of the research process. She used this systematic approach and its resultant
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



findings to change nursing practice.
fu fu fu fu fu



B) Only in recent years have nurses concentrated on establishing a unique body of
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



nursing knowledge. This has occurred in the years since Nightingale.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



C) Although Nightingale did begin systematically making and recording data, it was fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



heradmonishment that all nurses do the same that began to change nursing.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



D) Whereas Nightingale used observations to influence practice in her sphere of control, it
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



is unclear how widely she was able to disseminate the information.

2) Research is important to the nursing profession for many reasons. What is the ultimate goal

ofnursing research? fu



A) Document the cost-effectiveness of nursing care. fu fu fu fu fu



B) Ensure credibility of the nursing profession.
fu fu fu fu fu



C) Promote evidence-based practice in nursing. fu fu fu fu



D) Provide accountability for the nursing fu fu fu fu



profession.Answer: C
fu



Explanation: A) Whereas cost-effective nursing care is important, it is not as important as
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



providing optimum care. Many would argue that cost-effectiveness is a part of optimum care.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



B) Whereas nursing research will help to establish credibility of the nursing profession, this
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



result is not as important as providing optimum care to the client.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



C) The major reason for conducting research is to foster optimum care for clients.
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



Evidence-based practice is nurses making clinical decisions based on the best
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



research evidence, the nurse's clinical expertise, and the health preferences of the
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



client.
fu



D) Whereas nursing research does provide rationale for nursing actions, thereby
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



promoting accountability, this is not as important as providing optimal care to the client.

Whichoption reflects a study that meets the current mission of the NINR?
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



A) The effect of nurse-led community education on the prevalence of heart disease

C) The efficacy of a specific medication therapy for congestive heart failure
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



D) The job satisfaction level of currently employed
fu fu fu fu fu fu



nursesAnswer: A
fu



Explanation: A) Promoting health and preventing disease is an area of research emphasis for
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



the NINR. Evaluating the effects of nurse-led community education about health matches this
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



area of emphasis.
fu fu fu




B) Nursing workforce numbers is not an area of the NINR's current research emphasis. fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



Theareas are promoting health and preventing disease and disability, managing symptoms,
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



and improving palliative and end-of-life care.

fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



tofind one that is effective.

tobe the best thing to do."

fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



increased postprocedure infections in clients who have undergone transurethral

prostatectomy.Which type of nursing research is this researcher conducting?
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



A) Basic research fu



B) Applied research fu



C) Quantitative research fu



D) Qualitativeresearch fu



Answer: B
fu fu



Explanation: A) Basic research is conducted to develop, test, and refine theories and generate fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



new knowledge.
fu fu



B) Applied research is directed toward generating knowledge that can be used in
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



seekingsolutions to current clinical problems, whereas basic research is conducted
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



to generate new knowledge.
fu fu fu fu




C) Quantitative research is concerned with objectivity, tight controls over the research fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



situation, and the ability to generalize findings. There is not enough information in this
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu



questionto determine if this is a quantitative study.
