TEST BANK For Nursing Research Generating and Assessing
Evidence for Nursing Practice 11th Edition by Denise Polit;
Cheryl Beck
Biomedical, environmental, psychological, and sociological research has -
ANSWER:resulted in monumental advances in modern healthcare
One major reason for conducting research is - ANSWER:to expand a professions
knowledge base. Currently research focusing on outcomes or evidence-based
research has molded clinicians practice in hope of improving health outcomes for
recipients.
Transitional research - ANSWER:Forms the bridge between theory and practice and
is sometimes referred to as a bench-side (as in lab bench) to bedside process. It
forms the foundation for evidence based protocols and interventions that increase
the quality of nursing care and improve patient outcomes.
How are nursing practice and patient outcomes enhanced? - ANSWER:When
professional nurses choose to use treatment methods that are based on research.
Untested treatment methods may seemingly improve or alter the outcome a patient
experiences, but no confirmation exists the choosing the same treatment a second
time would similarly improve outcome.
Research based nursing practice - ANSWER:leads to improved care
The science of nursing draws heavily on other sciences in particular -
ANSWER:biopsychocoial fields, such as physiology, pharmacology, psychology, and
sociology.
Nurse must be able to discriminate - ANSWER:good research from poor research to
know what to use in clinical practice. Therefore they must have a working knowledge
of research methods and a beginning ability to read for application and to critique
research.
Research - ANSWER:Defined as a formalized process of systematic investigation
designed to test a research question or hypothesis and draw conclusions from
collected data. Many similarities are found between the formalized research process
and the nursing process format that is an integral part of the nursing education.
Search for a valid answer to a question.
Nursing research - ANSWER:Is defined as systematic inquiry into the problems
encountered in nursing practice and into the modalities of patient care, such as
support and comfort, prevention of trauma, promotion of recovery, health
education, health appraisal, and coordination of healthcare.
, In addition, Waltz and Bausell included the precision of the research process to gain -
ANSWER:solutions to research problems, to discover and interpret new facts and
relationships, or both
Nursing research concerns - ANSWER:nursing and things that do nurses do that are
different from the actions of other disciplines
Evidence based practice (EBP) - ANSWER:is an approach to healthcare that realized
that pathophysiologic reasoning and personal experience are necessary, but not
suffceint, for making decisions. This technique emphasizes decision making based on
the best available evidence and the use of outcome studies to guide decisions.
Advocates of evidence based medicine argue that medical decisions should be based
as much as possible on - ANSWER:a firm foundation of high-grade scientific evidence
rather than on experience or opinion
Dr. David Sackett - ANSWER:one of the pioneers of evidence-based medicine from
McMaster University in Canada, defined it as "the conscientious, explicit, and
judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of
individual patients. The practice of evidence based medicine means integrating
clinical expertise with the best available external evidence fro systematic research"
British nursing leaders have identified four major sources for evidence based nursing
- ANSWER:Research, clinical experience, patient experience, and information from
the local context
Nursing research is identical with that of any other discipline in which -
ANSWER:practitioners are interested in seeking the truth. Nurses interested in
improving the health of their clients engage in systematic inquiry designed to
develop trustworthy evidence, which forms the basis of EBP.
Research affects the clinical practice of nurses in all areas, particularly - ANSWER:in
relation to the goals of nursing
Historically, nursing has valued research that - ANSWER:develops knowledge about
health and the promotion of health over the full lifespan, care of persons with health
problems, and disabilities, and nursing actions to enhance the ability of individuals to
respond to actual or potential health problems (ANA 1981)
Specialist become familiar with research related to their disciplines by paying
attention to - ANSWER:reviews of research or through the use of expert or
consensus panels relevant to their areas.
The focus of nursing research must be on - ANSWER:generating fundamental
knowledge to guide nursing practice. Progress in nursing education, practice, or
administration requires systematic analyses of research applicable to a nurses area
of expertise.
