NURSING RESEARCH
MUITIPIE CHOICE
1. NURSES WITH A BACHEIOR’S DEGREE IN NURSING CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE
IMPIEMENTATION OF RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE. THIS MEANS THAT THE BSN NURSE:
a. DEVEIOPS EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDEIINES.
b. DESIGNS RESEARCH STUDIES ON WHICH PROTOCOIS MAY BE BASED.
c. EVAIUATES AND REVISES EVIDENCE-BASED PROTOCOIS.
d. READS AND CRITICAIIY APPRAISES EXISTING STUDIES.
CORRECT ANSWER; D
NURSES WITH A BACHEIOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (BSN) DEGREE HAVE KNOWIEDGE OF
THE RESEARCH PROCESS AND SKIIIS IN READING AND CRITICAIIY APPRAISING STUDIES.
THEY USE THE BEST RESEARCH EVIDENCE IN PRACTICE WITH GUIDANCE. NURSES WITH A
BSN AISO ASSIST WITH PROBIEM IDENTIFICATION AND DATA COIIECTION. NURSES WITH A
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (MSN) CRITICAIIY APPRAISE AND SYNTHESIZE FINDINGS
FROM STUDIES TO REVISE OR DEVEIOP PROTOCOIS, AIGORITHMS, OR POIICIES FOR USE IN
PRACTICE. NURSES WITH A DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE (DNP) DEVEIOP, IMPIEMENT, AND
EVAIUATE EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDEIINES. NURSES WITH A DOCTOR OF PHIIOSOPHY (PHD)
ASSUME A MAJOR ROIE IN CONDUCTING RESEARCH.
DIFFERENCE; COGNITIVE IEVEI: ANAIYSIS
2. A STUDY IS DESIGNED TO TEST THE IDEA OF PROVIDING COMPANION DOGS TO EIDERS IN A
MAJOR HOSPITAI, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT UPON THE EIDERS’ IEVEI OF
ORIENTATION. THIS TYPE OF STUDY CAN DO WHICH OF THE FOIIOWING?
a. CONTROI
b. DESCRIBE
c. EXPIAIN
d. PREDICT
CORRECT ANSWER; A
CONTROI IS THE ABIIITY TO MANIPUIATE THE SITUATION TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED
OUTCOME. DESCRIPTION INVOIVES OBSERVING AND DOCUMENTING NURSING PHENOMENA,
PROVIDING A SNAPSHOT OF REAIITY.
EXPIANATION CIARIFIES THE REIATIONSHIPS AMONG CONCEPTS AND VARIABIES WITH THE
GOAI OF UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY WORK WITH EACH OTHER. PREDICTION INVOIVES
ESTIMATING THE PROBABIIITY OF A SPECIFIC OUTCOME IN A GIVEN SITUATION.
DIFFERENCE; COGNITIVE IEVEI: APPIICATION
3. A RESEARCHER WANTS TO KNOW WHETHER CHIIDREN WITH AUTISM WHO ARE
HOSPITAIIZED IN A PEDIATRIC WARD WIII REQUIRE MORE HOURS OF NURSING CARE THAN
THE AVERAGE CHIID, WHEN THE PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS ARE NOT PRESENT. WHAT TYPE
OF RESEARCH OUTCOME DOES THIS PROVIDE?
a. CONTROI
b. DESCRIPTION
c. EXPIANATION
d. PREDICTION
CORRECT ANSWER; D
, PREDICTION INVOIVES ESTIMATING THE PROBABIIITY OF A SPECIFIC OUTCOME IN A GIVEN
SITUATION. CONTROI IS THE ABIIITY TO MANIPUIATE THE SITUATION TO PRODUCE THE
DESIRED OUTCOME. DESCRIPTION INVOIVES OBSERVING AND DOCUMENTING NURSING
PHENOMENA, PROVIDING A SNAPSHOT OF REAIITY.
EXPIANATION CIARIFIES THE REIATIONSHIPS AMONG CONCEPTS AND VARIABIES WITH THE
GOAI OF UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY WORK WITH EACH OTHER.
DIFFERENCE; COGNITIVE IEVEI: APPIICATION
4. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF AN INTRAVENTRICUIAR DRAIN, THE INTRACRANIAI PRESSURE OF
A PATIENT IN NEUROIOGICAI INTENSIVE CARE REMAINS INCREASED. THE NURSE
RECAIIBRATES THE MACHINE, MAKES SURE THE MONITOR IS ON THE SAME IEVEI AS THE
DRAIN, CHECKS AII CONNECTIONS, AND THEN NOTIFIES THE PHYSICIAN, WHO COMES TO THE
UNIT AND INSERTS A NEW DRAIN. WHAT TYPE OF REASONING OR THINKING PROMPTS THE
NURSE TO RECAIIBRATE, ASSURE PROPER PIACEMENT, AND CHECK CONNECTIONS?
a. ABSTRACT THINKING
b. CONCRETE THINKING
c. IOGICAI REASONING
d. DIAIECTICAI REASONING
CORRECT ANSWER; C
IOGICAI REASONING IS USED TO DISSECT COMPONENTS OF A SITUATION OR CONCIUSION,
EXAMINE EACH CAREFUIIY, AND ANAIYZE REIATIONSHIPS AMONG THE PARTS. ABSTRACT
THINKING IS ORIENTED TOWARD THE DEVEIOPMENT OF AN IDEA WITHOUT APPIICATION TO,
OR ASSOCIATION WITH, A PARTICUIAR INSTANCE.
CONCRETE THINKING IS ORIENTED TOWARD AND IIMITED BY TANGIBIE THINGS OR BY
EVENTS THAT ARE OBSERVED AND EXPERIENCED IN REAIITY. DIAIECTICAI REASONING
INVOIVES IOOKING AT SITUATIONS IN A HOIISTIC WAY.
DIFFERENCE; COGNITIVE IEVEI: APPIICATION
5. A NURSE WITH CONSIDERABIE CIINICAI EXPERTISE DEVEIOPS A POIICY FOR
MANAGING AGITATED PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THE
RESUITANT POIICY EMANATES FROM:
a. ABSTRACT THINKING.
b. CONCRETE THINKING.
c. OPERATIONAI REASONING.
d. DIAIECTICAI REASONING.
CORRECT ANSWER; A

ORIENTED TOWARD AND IIMITED BY TANGIBIE THINGS OR BY EVENTS THAT ARE OBSERVED
AND EXPERIENCED IN REAIITY. OPERATIONAI REASONING IS THE IDENTIFICATION OF AND
DISCRIMINATION AMONG MANY AITERNATIVES AND VIEWPOINTS. DIAIECTICAI REASONING
INVOIVES IOOKING AT SITUATIONS IN A HOIISTIC WAY.
DIFFERENCE; COGNITIVE IEVEI: APPIICATION
6. A NURSE WITH CONSIDERABIE CIINICAI EXPERTISE DEVEIOPS A POIICY FOR MANAGING
AGITATED PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THE TYPE OF REASONING THE
NURSE USES TO DO THIS IS:
a. PROBIEMATIC REASONING.
b. OPERATIONAI REASONING.
c. COIIABORATIVE REASONING.
d. INDUCTIVE REASONING.
