NURS 8006 RESEARCH EXAM 2026
ACTUAL SCRIPT ACCURATE ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉Independent variable. Answer: presumed cause
(predictor/intervention)
◉dependent variable. Answer: Presumed effect (outcome)
◉Pre-appraised evidence. Answer: is evidence that has been
selected from primary studies and evaluated for use by clinicians.
◉Systematic reviews. Answer: type of pre-appraised evidence that:
merges and synthesizes findings
◉Meta analysis. Answer: type of pre-appraised evidence:
a technique for integrating quantitative research findings
statistically
◉Clinical practice guidelines. Answer: type of pre-appraised
evidence:
,which distill a body of evidence into a usable form; often based on
systematic reviews; give specific recommendations for evidence
based decision making
◉primary study. Answer: acquire and analyze new data
◉level of evidence. Answer:
◉Randomized control trial. Answer: what type of study has subjects
from the same population randomly allocated to 2+ groups, where
one group in the control.
◉Cohort study. Answer: prospective study- prognosis or etiology;
start with cause or exposure and then follow over time to see if
outcome is present (Compared to those not affected by condition
under investigation)
◉case-control study. Answer: start with outcome and look back at
time and see what exposures they had
◉Institutional Review Board (IRB). Answer: established formal
committees for reviewing research plans; before undertaking a
study, researchers must submit a research plan to the IRB, and must
also undergo formal IRB training. An IRB can approve the proposed
plans, require modifications, or disapprove them.
, ◉Informed consent. Answer: important procedure for safeguarding
participants involves obtaining their informed consent. Informed
consent means that participants have:
- adequate information about the study
- comprehend the information
-and have the power of free choice, enabling them to consent to or
decline participation voluntarily.
It is usually documented by having participants sign a consent form.
The form includes information about the study purpose, specific
expectations regarding participations (how much time will be
required), the voluntary nature of participation, and potential cost
and benefits
◉Implied consent. Answer: return of completed questionnaire
◉Process consent. Answer: in qualitative study, consent may be an
ongoing process in which consent is continuously renegotiated.
◉3 ethical principles that should be considered when examining
research. Answer: 1.Respect/autonomy (capable of self-
determination), 2.beneficence (researchers must maximize benefits
and minimize risks),
3. Justice (benefits must be fairly distributed)
