1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
hand washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
<0.01. This indicates that
bbf bbf bbf bbf
A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
Ans: B bbf
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
the study results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
<0.01 indicates that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
chance.

2. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
research, claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
nurses colleague best defend the importance of nursing research?
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
,B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
and has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
practice and patient outcomes.
bbf bbf bbf bbf
Ans: D bbf
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
practice and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
nursing research to education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
profession.

3. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
experience of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
the nurse prioritize when appraising the results of this study?
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
, B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
affected the findings?
bbf bbf bbf
C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
phenomenon in question?
bbf bbf bbf
D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
Ans: A bbf
Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
convey the subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
not dimensions of a qualitative methodology.

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

unit of a busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
feeding their babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
done to encourage more women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
likely to play in a research project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
feeding?
A) Applying for grant funding for the research projectbbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
C) Planning the methodology of the research project bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication Ans: B
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
research. Grant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
normally carried out by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.

5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
patient by a research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not
bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf bbf
understand the research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How
