chapter 01: introduction to nursing research and its importance in building an
evidence-based practice
grove: understanding nursing research, 7th edition
multiple choice
1. which statement best describes evidence-based practice (ebp)?
a. a combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs
and values of patients
b. a determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to
care and delivery of care
c. the development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. the utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient
outcomes
ANS>>a
evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values. studies that
attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or
,quasi-experimental. they may be used to guide ebp but do not completely define
it. ebp is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient
outcomes are part of ebp but do not completely define ebp.

2. the nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies
as part of a larger research study. which research method will the nurse use
when collecting data for this study?
a. control
b. description
c. explanation
d. prediction
ANS>>b
description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing
phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. control can be
described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired results.
explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
certain events occur. through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome
can be estimated in a given situation.
dif: cognitive level: understanding (comprehension)
,3. the nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the
number of obese adults whose parents were also obese or overweight. which
research method is being used in this study?
a. control
b. description
c. explanation
d. prediction
ANS>>d
through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a
given situation. by knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were
obese, the probability of predicting this may be calculated. control indicates the
ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired results.

compared among groups of young adults who received different asthma
education. which research method does this represent?

nurses may indicate relative risk of needle-stick injuries. to study this, the nurse
manager will employ which method of study?
