ANS: A, C, E Nursing research is considered a ―world‖ that is a truly new way of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


experiencing reality. Entering a new world means learning a unique language,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


incorporating new rules, and using new experiences to learn how to interact
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


effectively within the world. The world of nursing research is not a way of using old
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


experiences to learn nor a new way of learning multiple languages.

research evidence
xx xx


b. Expert opinion consensus xx xx


c. Patient needs and values xx xx xx

develop EBP; and safe, cost-effective care is a component of EBP. Expert opinion
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

that apply.

a. Objective
b. Cause and effect relationships xx xx xx


c. Tests theory xx


d. Develops theory and frameworks xx xx xx


e. Numbers
f. Description variables xx




ANS: A, B, C, E, F xx xx xx xx xx


Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


are used to obtain information about the world. Quantitative research is conducted to
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


test theory by describing variables, examining relationships among variables, and
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


determining cause and effect interactions between variables. Qualitative research
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


findings are unique, dynamic, focused on understanding, and facilitate theory
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


development.

5. Which of the following is a research question for an experimental study? Select all that
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


xx apply.
a. What is it like to live with asthma?NURSINGTB.COM
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x


b. Do children who have an updated asthma action plan have fewer missed school
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


days caused by asthma?
xx xx xx xx


c. Which asthma triggers influence poor attitudes about chronic disease?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. Which bronchodilator medication has fewer side effects?
xx xx xx xx xx xx

, ANS: B, D xx xx


Determining which interventions reduce asthma sick days is a controlled, quantitative,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


experimental study design; and a study about the effects of a medication is an
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


experimental study. Asking what it is like to live with asthma will generate qualitative
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


data. A study determining relationships between asthma triggers and attitudes about
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


disease is a correlational study.

MULTIPLE CHOICE xx




1. A researcher conducts a study which outlines the daily habits of women who are
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


overweight.
xx


This study represents what type of research? a. Correlational
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


b. Descriptive
c. Experimental
d. Quasi-experimental



ANS: B xx


Descriptive research is the exploration and description of phenomena in real-life
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


situations. Correlational research involves the systematic investigation of relationships
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


between or among variables. Experimental research is an objective, systematic, highly
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


controlled investigation conducted for the purpose of predicting and controlling
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


phenomena. The purpose of quasi-experimental research is to examine causal
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


relationships or determine the effect of one variable on another. Thus these studies
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


involve implementing a treatment or intervention and examining the effects of this
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


intervention using selected methods of measurement.
