NURS 5366 MODULE 1 QUIZ
Question 1 pts
,A research study contains the following in its Introduction section: “This
study was undertaken to explore the effect of massage on total hours
of sleep per 24-hour day, in persons averaging fewer than 7 hours of
sleep per night, attributable to
insomnia......Presumably by increasing endorphin levels, massage seems to
provide an immediate relaxation and an ability to sleep immediately
following the session, but it is unclear whether these benefits actually
extend to total sleep, despite anecdotal support. The claim that
massage increases total hours of sleep has been inadequately
researched...............................................Does massage increase the total
number
of hours of daily sleep?. .It was posited that provision of daily late-morning
massage would affect total hours of sleep per 24-hour day. The study’s
causational explanation was based on the physiologic matrix of
McCarthy, which includes effects of endorphins on sleep, learning
ability, pain, digestive function, and cardiac output. It was taken
as established fact that massage is pleasant,
that research subjects getting fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night
were sleep- deprived, and that endorphins mediated the changes
observed.”

, A research problem is an area of concern or phenomenon of
interest about which there is a gap in the knowledge base
needed for nursing practice.
The problem identifies an area of concern or phenomenon of
interest for a particular population and often indicates the
concepts to be studied.

Question 2 pts
Why is operational reasoning necessary for research?
It facilitates the researcher’s rapport with families
Abstract concepts are of no use to nursing.
It allows the researcher to measure the concepts studied.
Standard interventions are obtained from operational reasoning.
Operational reasoning involves the identification of and discrimination among ma
