• Why natural sciences are also referred to as “pure” sciences?
• They are considered stand-alone bodies of unique knowledge.
• They are the only sciences to which the scientific method can be applied.
• They are the original sciences upon which all others are based.
• They are not affected by subjectivity in the way other sciences are.
Ans: A
• Which is not an example of an applied science as used in health care today?
• Social work
• Psychotherapy
• Examination of care disparities
• PathologyAns: D
• Roberta firmly believes that individual experiences are the source of all
knowledge in theworld. As a scientist, she acknowledges her role as a participant in
the experiments she performs and does consider herself merely a disconnected
observer of phenomenon. Roberta’s views are most closely reflective of which of
scientific thought?
• Natural Science
• Human Science
• Applied Science
• Soft ScienceAns: B
• What is the ultimate goal of the scientific method?
• Application of scientific results to a related body of knowledge in order to
meet sometype of human need.
• Examination of the decisions made by a scientist to understand the ways
in whichsubjectivity was introduced to the experiment.
• Reproducible experimental results that do not take researcher individuality into
account.
• Improving the situation or process used in the experiment to yield more accurate
results in repeat experiments.
Ans: C
• Which of the following best describes the aim of natural sciences?
, • Affirmation of the importance of cultural understanding by uncovering the
commonsubjective biases of different disciplines.
• Improvement of the quality of life by understanding what helps people
maximize their functional abilities.
• Utilization of knowledge by applying it to a specific purpose in order to better a
situationor change viewpoints.
• Development of knowledge for the sake of developing knowledge, discovering
truth, andcontrolling outcomes.
Ans: D
• Gretchen and Peter are graduate students in the same Physics lab. Their
supervisor has asked both of them to perform the same experiment using the same
procedure and equipment. After they’ve both completed their task, the compare
their results and discover that they are nearly identical. Which of the five criteria
for science does Gretchen and
Peter’s discovery exemplify?
• Intersubjective testability
• Reliability
• Definiteness and precision
• CoherenceAns: A
• Which statement does not describe a general characteristic of philosophy?
• Thinking for the sake of thinking.
• Utilization of process and outcome.

, • Francisco is a chemist who rigidly applies the scientific method to all that he
does, whether in the lab or out of it, and strongly believes that all relationships are
governed by cause and effect. He sees little need for subjectivity in any area of his
life, believing insteadthat the world is an external concept completely independent
of individual thoughts or desires. Which philosophical school best describes
Francisco’s outlook on the world?
• Phenomenology
• Logical positivism
• Hermeneutics
• Post-structuralismAns: B
• Which statement would an adherent of the perceived view most likely make?
• “Observation is completely unbiased.”
• “Descriptive law is the gold standard of science.”
• “Individual phenomenon make up the whole that is the universe.”
• “Theories are neither right nor wrong.”Ans: D
• Which philosophy subscribes to the idea that the universe is a whole made of
interrelated
parts?
• Logical positivism
• Chaos and Complexity
• Post-Structuralism
• HermeneuticsAns: B
Chapter 2: The Evolution of Nursing Science
• Historically, nursing preparation was referred to as “training,” and many nurses
educated through the 1970s still use this term to refer to their education. Why is this
terminology particularly problematic in light of the advances made in nursing science
in the last 30 years?
• On-the-job apprenticeships are no longer as prevalent as they were up through
the late1970s and early 1980s.
• It places emphasis on nurses’ abilities to perform tasks rather than reason
through andunderstand the purpose of their actions.
• Most modern nurses pursue Master’s level education beyond their
practice-basedBachelor’s education.
