Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi




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


ng on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-
gi gi gi gi gi gi


acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi g


of <0.01. This indicates that
i gi gi gi gi




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




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




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




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




Ans: B gi




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


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




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


of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


when appraising the results of this study?
gi gi gi gi gi gi




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




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


findings?

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


question?


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




Ans: A gi




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


bjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a quali
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


tative methodology.

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


iming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague best de
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


fend the importance of nursing research?
gi gi gi gi gi




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


money, something that didnt use to be the case.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi




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


greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
gi gi gi gi gi gi




C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true profession,
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi




D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice and
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


patient outcomes. gi

Ans: D gi




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


mately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to educ
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ation 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 of a
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


feeding their babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to e
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ncourage more women to continue breast- gi gi gi gi gi


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


med at promoting breast-feeding?
gi gi gi




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




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




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




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




Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research. Grant
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi g


applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally carried out by
i gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi g


nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
i gi gi gi gi gi gi




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


by a research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand the re
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


search assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nurse respo
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


nd to this revelation?
gi gi gi




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




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

C) Inform the research assistant that the patients consent is likely invalid.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi




D) Explain to the patient that his written consent is now legally binding.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi




Ans: C gi




Feedback: Just as the staff nurse is not responsible for medical consent, the staff nurse is not res
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ponsible for research consent. If patients who have agreed to participate exhibit ambivalence or u
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ncertainty about participating, do not try to convince them to participate. Ask the person from th
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


e research team who is managing consents to speak with concerned patients about the study, eve
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


n after a patient has signed the consent forms.

gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

which of the following? (Select all that apply.)
