1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of handwas
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


hing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significan
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ce of <0.01. This indicates that
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




C) The effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




D) The clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




Ans: B n9




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the stu
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


dy results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicate
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


s that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.

2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experien
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ce of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prio
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ritize when appraising the results of this study?
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected t
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


he findings?

C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the phenomenon
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


in question?
n9




D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




Ans: A n9




Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


qualitative methodology. n9




3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague b
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


est defend the importance of nursing research?
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal gra
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


nt money, something that didnt use to be the case.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and h
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


as greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true professio
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


n, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice a
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


nd patient outcomes.

Ans: D n9




Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.

4. Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit o
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


f a busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


feeding their babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done t
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


o encourage more women to continue breast-
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research project that tests an intervention
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


aimed at promoting breast-feeding?
n9 n9 n9




A) Applying for grant funding for the research project
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




C) Planning the methodology of the research project
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication Ans: B
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research. Gr
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally carried o
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


ut by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.

5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to patie
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


nt by a research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n


9the research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nu
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9


rse respond to this revelation?
n9 n9 n9 n9




A) Explain the research process to the patient in greater detail.
n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9 n9




B) Describe the details of a randomized controlled trial for the patient.
