MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nurses with a bachelor’s degree in nursing can participate in the implementation of
evidence- based protocols in practice. This me
ANSWER: that the BSN nurse
a. Develops evidence-based guidelines
b. Designs research studies, on which protocols may be based
c. Evaluates and revises evidence-based protocols
d. Contributes practice wisdom when applying protocols in patient settings
e. Mentors PhD researchers in the clinical setting during protocol development
ANSWER: D
Nurses with a BSN degree have knowledge of the research process and skills in reading
and critically appraising studies. They assist with the implementation of evidence-
based guidelines, protocols, algorithms, and policies in practice. This implies that
nurses provide their point of view, from the clinician’s vantage, when new protocols
are being put into practice, and continue to provide feedback, regarding the positive
and negative aspects of those protocols.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: Page 4
2. Research is designed to test the idea of providing companion dogs to elders in a major
hospital, in order to determine the effect upon the elders’ level of orientation. (The
dogs’ level of orientation will not be a focus of the research.) This type of study can do
which of the following?
a. Control
b. Describe
c. Explain
d. Predict
ANSWER: A
Control is the ability to manipulate the situation to produce the desired outcome.
Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena
and, sometimes, the relationships among them. Explanation clarifies the relationships
among phenomena and identifies the reasons why certain events occur. The ability to
estimate the probability of a specific outcome in a given situation in nursing practice
is known as prediction. The researcher’s focus is on predicting what is likely.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: Page 13
3. A researcher wants to find out whether children with autism who are hospitalized on a
pediatric ward will require more hours of nursing care than average children when the
parents or caregivers are not present. What type of research outcome does this provide?
a. Control
b. Description
c. Explantation
d. Prediction
