NU 631 EXAMINATION QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
What is the relationship. between a research topic and a research problem? - Research topics
contain numerous potential problems, and each problem provides the basis for developing many
research purposes.
Why is replicating a research study essential for knowledge development? - Replication helps
confirm that the initial results were not reached in error
Which item represents a concise, clear statement of the specific goal or aim of a research study? -
The purpose of the project was to define changes in the incidence of hypertension across time,
with the four most prevalent treatment modalities prescribed by family nurse practitioners in the greater
Chicago area
A master's student does not know how to choose a research problem. The student was a trauma nurse
but has not been working clinically for the past two years. Which of the following activities is not a
fruitful source for identifying a nursing research problem? - depending on student's instructors to
provide a research problem
Which of the answer choices is the practicing nurse's most important source researchable problems? -
the nurse's own clinical practice
A study contains the research question, Can the application of twice-daily cortis one in the period from
six to ten weeks postoperatively produce significantly increased range of motion in 50-to 60-year-old
rotator-cuff repair patient s at the six-month mark? What is the type of research described? -
Experimental
All of the answer choices are reasons to conduct replication research except: - the original
research showed statistically significant findings, but the research site is no longer in operation
Based on the Yates article, Research in Nursing Practice, the following are likely to help encourage
bedside nurses to conduct research except: - a decrease in NINR funding and NIH funding
According to the Blake (2016) article, Yes, nurses do research, and it's improving patient care, there is a
growing number of nurses getting PhDs and doing research, according to a 2014 survey by American
Association of Colleges of Nursing AACN). All of the answer choices are true except: - Enrollment
in nursing programs in California, Nebraska, and Vermont drastically declined in the past 10 years. There
has not been a decline in nursing enrollment in these states over the past 10 years. In the United States,
there is a push for there to be an increased volume of nurse researchers who are doctorally prepared.
The number of doctoral-prepared nurses has been growing over the past couple of decades.
Quality improvement is important according to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality because:
Health care can vary widely across hospitals, locales and population groups, Suboptimal care can lead to
complications, unnecessary hospital stays, lingering illness, or even death. When quality of care gaps
