  1. ANS:  D

Nursing research began with Florence Nightingale and has become vital to both professionals and consumers in investigating the domain of nursing, testing theories and interventions, and demonstrating the efficacy and efficiency of nursing actions.

  1. ANS:  A

Nurses have both the right and the responsibility to participate in research. Participation of nurses should be evident; for example, they should function as members of research teams and institutional review boards (IRBs). Nurses also can actively participate by giving support and assistance to others involved in research for the advancement of knowledge and enhancement of professional practice.

Knowledge transformation is defined as “the conversion of research findings from primary research results, through a series of stages and forms, to impact on health outcomes by way of EB care.” As new knowledge is transformed through the five stages—discovery, evidence summary, translation, integration, and evaluation—the outcome is quality improvement of care.

 

PTS:   1                    DIF:    Level 1           TOP:   Evidence-based practice

 

  1. ANS:  A

A research critique is an objective analysis of a published research report. The reader must critically consider all components of the report—problem, purpose, supporting literature, theoretical framework, definitions, study questions or hypotheses, design, population and sample, data collection methods and procedures, analysis, and interpretation of findings.

 

PTS:   1                    DIF:    Level 1           TOP:   Evidence-based practice
