MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nursing research is significant to the profession of nursing because it promotes:
a. more specifically defined nursing practice responsibilities.
b. decreased liability within the practice of nursing.
c. generation of a specialized body of nursing knowledge for use in nursing practice.
d. expansion of the scope of nursing practice into other disciplines.
ACTUAL ANSWER: C
Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional guidelines
already exist regarding responsibility. Each state has a Nurse Practice Act with
rules and regulations that define scope of practice.
B Liability is a legal concept related to a nurse’s legal scope of practice and
professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liability.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge base that empowers
the nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of
health care delivery to multiple populations. It provides a foundation for
evidence-based nursing care and quality improvement activities.

2. An aspect of the scientific investigation of nursing practice that is also a fundamental concept
of American Nurses Association (ANA)’s Code for Nurses is:
a. professional accountability.
b. standards of care.
c. legal scope of practice.
d. advanced practice nursing activities.
ACTUAL ANSWER: A
Feedback
A Scientific investigation promotes accountability, a hallmark of the nursing
profession and a fundamental concept of the ANA’s Code for Nurses.
B Standards of care are defined by ANA, as well as specialty nursing organizations.
The Code for Nurses states that nurses should conform to standards, but standards
per se are not part of the Code.
C Legal scope of practice is defined by each state’s Nurse Practice Act and
elaborated in its rules and regulations.
D The ANA Code applies to nursing practice in general, not advanced practice.

3. Nurses need to be able to understand the nursing research process:
a. to identify potential subjects for clinical research studies.
b. to assist as accurate data collectors in clinical research studies.
c. to teach patients and families the importance of participating in research.
d. to evaluate nursing research reports for relevance to their own clinical practice.
ACTUAL ANSWER: D
Feedback
A Subject identification is determined by the nurse researcher.
B Data collectors need to understand their role in the study; they do not need to
understand the entire research process.
C Subject recruitment is the responsibility of the nurse researcher.
D Nurses need to understand the research process in order to critically read research
reports and determine if nursing practice should incorporate the research findings
as valid evidence.

The action that demonstrates the role of a knowledgeable consumer of nursing research is:
A. Designing a nursing research study
B. Analyzing data to determine study outcomes
C. Evaluating the credibility of research findings
D. Implementing an intervention found to be effective in one clinical case study
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
A knowledgeable consumer of nursing research focuses on critically appraising evidence, including
evaluating validity, reliability, and applicability of research findings before using them in practice.
• A and B = researcher role
• D = application without critical appraisal
• C = correct consumer role (evaluation and judgment of evidence)
ACTUAL ANSWER: C
Feedback
A A consumer uses and applies research to practice but is not responsible for
designing a study.
B A consumer does not conduct data analysis of a study; the study’s primary
investigator analyzes data.

B Nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level in nursing are at the bedside
implementing protocols, whereas expert consultation is generally reserved for
nurses prepared at the master’s or higher-degree level (advanced education).

A Having a role in nursing research or implementing findings is not limited to nurses
with baccalaureate or higher levels of education.
B Nurses with master’s or higher levels of education provide leadership to supervise
how research findings are applied in the clinical area. However, all levels of
nurses can apply research findings to practice.
C To use research in evidence-based practice, the nurse must not necessarily be able
to conduct research but should be able to understand and appraise the steps of the
research process to read the research literature critically and use it to inform
clinical decisions.
