Chapter |||1. |||Primary |||Care |||in |||the |||Twenty-First |||Century: |||A |||Circle |||of
||| Caring
1. A |||nurse |||has |||conducted |||a |||literature |||review |||in |||an |||effort |||to |||identify |||the |||effect |||of
handwashing |||on |||the |||incidence |||of |||nosocomial |||(hospital-acquired) |||infections |||in |||acute
|||
||| care |||settings. |||An |||article |||presented |||findings |||at |||a |||level |||of |||significance |||of |||<0.01. |||This
||| indicates |||that
A) the |||control |||group |||and |||the |||experimental |||group |||were |||more |||than |||99% |||similar.
B) the |||findings |||of |||the |||study |||have |||less |||than |||1% |||chance |||of |||being |||attributable |||to |||chance.
C) the |||effects |||of |||the |||intervention |||were |||nearly |||zero.
D) the |||clinical |||significance |||of |||the |||findings |||was |||less |||than |||1:100.
Ans: |||B
,Feedback: |||The |||level |||of |||significance |||is |||the |||level |||at |||which |||the |||researcher |||believes |||that |||the
study |||results |||most |||likely |||represent |||a |||nonchance |||event. |||A |||level |||of |||significance |||of
|||
||| <0.01 |||indicates |||that |||there |||is |||less |||than |||1% |||probability |||that |||the |||result |||is |||due |||to
||| chance.
2. A |||nurse |||has |||read |||a |||qualitative |||research |||study |||in |||order |||to |||understand |||the |||lived
experience |||of |||parents |||who |||have |||a |||neonatal |||loss. |||Which |||of |||the |||following |||questions
|||
||| should |||the |||nurse |||prioritize |||when |||appraising |||the |||results |||of |||this |||study?
A) How |||well |||did |||the |||authors |||capture |||the |||personal |||experiences |||of |||these |||parents?
B) How |||well |||did |||the |||authors |||control |||for |||confounding |||variables |||that |||may |||have |||affected |||the
||| findings?
C) Did |||the |||authors |||use |||statistical |||measures |||that |||were |||appropriate |||to |||the |||phenomenon |||in
question?
|||
D) Were |||the |||instruments |||that |||the |||researchers |||used |||statistically |||valid |||and |||reliable?
Ans: |||A
,Feedback: |||Qualitative |||studies |||are |||judged |||on |||the |||basis |||of |||how |||well |||they |||capture |||and
||| convey |||the |||subjective |||experiences |||of |||individuals. |||Statistical |||measures |||and |||variables |||are
not |||dimensions |||of |||a |||qualitative |||methodology.
|||
3. A |||nurse |||has |||expressed |||skepticism |||to |||a |||colleague |||about |||the |||value |||of |||nursing |||research,
claiming |||that |||nursing |||research |||has |||little |||relevance |||to |||practice. |||How |||can |||the |||nurses
|||
||| colleague |||best |||defend |||the |||importance |||of |||nursing |||research?
, A) The |||existence |||of |||nursing |||research |||meAns |||that |||nurses |||are |||now |||able |||to |||access |||federal
||| grant |||money, |||something |||that |||didnt |||use |||to |||be |||the |||case.
B) Nursing |||research |||has |||allowed |||the |||development |||of |||masters |||and |||doctoral |||programs
and |||has |||greatly |||increased |||the |||credibility |||of |||the |||profession.
|||
C) The |||growth |||of |||nursing |||research |||has |||caused |||nursing |||to |||be |||viewed |||as |||a |||true
profession, |||rather |||than |||simply |||as |||a |||trade |||or |||a |||skill.
|||
D) The |||application |||of |||nursing |||research |||has |||the |||potential |||to |||improve |||nursing |||practice
and |||patient |||outcomes.
|||
Ans: |||D
Feedback: |||The |||greatest |||value |||of |||nursing |||research |||lies |||in |||the |||potential |||to |||improve
||| practice |||and, |||ultimately, |||to |||improve |||patient |||outcomes. |||This |||supersedes |||the
contributions |||of |||nursing |||research |||to |||education |||programs, |||grant |||funding, |||or |||the |||public
|||
||| view |||of |||the |||profession.
4. Tracy |||is |||a |||nurse |||with |||a |||baccalaureate |||degree |||who |||works |||in |||the |||labor |||and |||delivery
||| unit |||of |||a |||busy |||urban |||hospital. |||She |||has |||noticed |||that |||many |||new |||mothers |||abandon
breast-feeding |||their |||babies |||when |||they |||experience |||early |||challenges |||and |||wonders
|||
||| what |||could |||be |||done |||to |||encourage |||more |||women |||to |||continue |||breast-feeding.
||| What |||role |||is |||Tracy |||most |||likely |||to |||play |||in |||a |||research |||project |||that |||tests |||an
||| intervention |||aimed |||at |||promoting |||breast-feeding?
A) Applying |||for |||grant |||funding |||for |||the |||research |||project
B) Posing |||the |||clinical |||problem |||to |||one |||or |||more |||nursing |||researchers
C) Planning |||the |||methodology |||of |||the |||research |||project
D) Carrying |||out |||the |||intervention |||and |||submitting |||the |||results |||for
