1. One reason for conducting a review of the literature other than for purposes of developing a
research study is to
a.
determine the expertise of researchers in the field of study.
b.
identify current theoretical frameworks.
c.
implement evidence-based practice guidelines.
d.
work in a Magnet-certified hospital setting.
ANS: C
Although a literature reviews are commonly associated with development of research studies,
they are also conducted when developing projects to establish evidence-based practice
(EBP). Evaluation of the expertise of researchers and identification of theoretical
frameworks are part of literature reviews but are not the reason for conducting them. Nurses
in Magnet hospitals often participate in EBP projects and will conduct literature reviews for
these, but not solely to be able to work in these institutions.

2. What is the purpose of a limited research review?
a.
To allow the reader to become familiar with the research problem

ANS: D
A limited research review is often conducted after an initial literature review to describe any
studies performed after the study has been performed. The results of both the original
literature review and the limited literature review are included in the report. A full literature
review allows the reader to become familiar with the research problem and is performed
prior to a pilot or a full study. The full literature review directs the planning and execution
of the study.
DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension)
3. A reviewer reading a proposal for a qualitative research study notes that the author has not
included a literature review. The reviewer understands that a literature review may have been
omitted in this case because
a.
it is not necessary to conduct a literature review for qualitative research.
b.
qualitative research is conducted to study areas where there is no previous
knowledge.
c.
some researchers feel that previous studies may bias data collection in qualitative
studies.
d.
the researcher was not adequately prepared to conduct this research study.
