, chapter 1: discovering the world of nursing
research
multiple choice
1. nurses with a bachelor’s degree in nursing can participate in the
implementation of evidence- based protocols in practice. this means
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
ans: 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
ans: 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
