Introduction to Nursing Research and Its Importance in
Building an Evidence-Based Practice
MULTIPLE CHOICE
QN 1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EB
AAA.ANS
A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values of patients.
BBB. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and delivery of care
CCC. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
DDD. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
AAA is the Correct Answer
RATIONALE
• Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with
clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of
patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to
guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific
patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of
patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)
QN 2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger research
study.Whichresearchmethodwillthenurseusewhen collecting data for this study?
AAA. Control
ANS BBB. Description
CCC. Explanation
DDD. Prediction
BBB is the Correct Answer
RATIONALE
• Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a
prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a
specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension)
QN 3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obese adults
whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being used in this study?
AAA. Control
BBB. Description
CCC. Explanation
, ANSPrediction
DDD.
DDD is the Correct Answer
RATIONALE
• Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given
situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the
probability of predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a
prescribed intervention to produce the desired results. Description involves identifying and
understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among these
phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why
certain events occur.
DIF: Cognitive level: Applying (Application)
QN 4. The nurse reviews a study in which adherence to an asthma action plan is compared among groups
of young adults who received different asthma education. Which research method does this
represent?
AAA. Control
BBB. Description
CCC.
ANSExplanation
DDD. Prediction
CCC is the Correct Answer
RATIONALE
• Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events
occur. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce the desired
results. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena
and the relationships among these phenomena. Through prediction, the probability of a
specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
DIF: Cognitive level: Applying (Application)
QN 5. A nurse is interested in learning which attitude among staff nurses may indicate relative risk of
needle-stick injuries. To study this, the nurse manager will employ which method of study?
AAA. Control
BBB. Description
CCC. Explanation
ANS DDD. Prediction

QN6. Which is the most important result of Florence Nightingale’s data collection and statistical
analysis during the Crimean War?
AAA. Bringing awareness of the rigors of war to the general public in relation to care practices
BBB. Developing a process for statistical analysis and nursing documentation
