1. Which group is best served by the development of a rigorous base of
evidence for nursing practice?
A) Nursing administrators
B) Practicing nurses

researchers Ans: C
Feedback:
Nurse leaders have recognized the need to base specific nursing decisions on
trustworthy evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically appropriate, cost-
effective, and result in positive outcomes for their clients. Nursing groups benefit
from nursing studies, but it is nurses’ clients themselves who benefit most because
research-based evidence can improve their health and health-related quality of life.

The answers to clinical nursing research questions have the potential to improve
the health and well-being of nurses’ clients. Clinical nursing research questions
focus directly on clients’ needs, experiences, and health behaviors, and answers to
such questions can inform nurses’ decisions or lead to strategies to improve nursing
practice. Researchers also study nursing education, but questions about nursing
education, as exemplified in the other questions, would not be considered clinical
nursing research questions.

3. Which goal is the highest priority for research in the nursing profession?
A) To generate evidence to inform nurses’ decisions and actions
B) To conduct research focused on the context of nursing practice
C) To document the role that nurses serve in society
D) To establish priorities for areas of study by nurse researchers
Ans: A
Feedback:
Nurses are increasingly undertaking clinical research, and practicing nurses are
expected to base their practice on evidence from research. Evidence-based
practice involves the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and
typically comes from research conducted by nurses and other health care
professionals. The other answers are possible goals for the nursing profession, but
none is as high a priority as developing rigorous evidence for practice.

B) credentialing and improving nurses’ status.
C) strengthening nurses’ bargaining power.
D) supporting better avenues for advanced degrees.
Ans: B
Feedback:
In the United States and in other countries, research plays an important role in
nurses’ credentialing and status. In particular, research and efforts to promote
evidence-based practice are key elements of the Magnet recognition program.
Changes to nursing practice now occur regularly because of EBP efforts, and these
efforts enhance the status of the profession. The other answers are possible
outcomes of increased research activity among nurses, but none is as important as
the role of research in enhancing the visibility and credibility of the
profession.Format: Multiple Choice

5. What is the role of consumers of nursing research?
A) Generating evidence by undertaking studies
B) Gathering information from clients that can be used in research
C) Coming up with ideas for studies
D) Reading research reports to find evidence that is relevant to nursing
practice Ans: D
Feedback:
Knowledge of nursing research enhances the professional practice of both
consumers of research (who read and appraise studies) and producers of research
(who design and undertake studies). Between these two points on the consumer–
producer continuum lies a rich variety of research activities in which nurses may
engage. These activities include contributing an idea for a study, advising clients
about their participation in a study, and searching for research evidence.
