Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring
1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of handwashing
on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article
presented findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This indicates that
A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
DETAILED ANSWERS: B
Providing feedback: The level of significance refers to the extent to which the researcher believes
that the findings of the study most likely represent an event that did not occur by coincidence. A
significance level of less than 0.01, which is less than one percent, suggests that the possibility of
the result being due to chance is less than one percent.
2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience of
parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
when appraising the results of this study?
A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected the
findings?
