    \n
  1. Nurses with a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing can participate in the implementation of
    evidence-based protocols in practice. This means that the BSN nurse
    a. Develops evidence-based guidelines
    b. Designs research studies, on which protocols may be based
    c. Evaluates and revises evidence-based protocols
    d. Contributes practice wisdom when applying protocols in patient settings
    e. Mentors PhD researchers in the clinical setting during protocol development
    ANS: D
    Nurses with a BSN degree have knowledge of the research process and skills in reading
    andcritically appraising studies. They assist with the implementation of evidence-based
    guidelines, protocols, algorithms, and policies in practice. This implies that nurses provide
    their point of view, from the clinician\u2019s vantage, when new protocols are being put into
    practice, and continue to provide feedback, regarding the positive and negative aspects of
    those protocols.

  2. Research is designed to test the idea of providing companion dogs to elders in a major
    hospital, in order to determine the effect upon the elders\u2019 level of orientation. (The dogs\u2019 level
    of orientation will not be a focus of the research.) This type of study can do which of the
    following?
    a. Control
    b. Describe
    c. Explain
    d. Predict
    ANS: A
    Control is the ability to manipulate the situation to produce the desired outcome.
    Descriptioninvolves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and,
    sometimes, therelationships among them. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
    phenomena and identifies the reasons why certain events occur. The ability to estimate the
    probability of a specific outcome in a given situation in nursing practice is known as
    prediction. The researcher\u2019s focus is on predicting what is likely.

  3. A researcher wants to find out whether children with autism who are hospitalized on a
    pediatric ward will require more hours of nursing care than average children when the
    parentsor caregivers are not present. What type of research outcome does this provide?
    a. Control
    b. Description
    c. Explantation
    d. Prediction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. A researcher who desires to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between requiring
      that all children under the age of 8 will ride in special care harnesses and the subsequent
      rateof children\u2019s spinal cord injury will consequently utilize which form of nursing
      research?
      a. Descriptive research
      b. Outcomes research
      c. Qualitative research
      d. Quantitative research
      ANS: D
      Quantitative research, the most frequently used method, is a formal, objective, systematic
      methodology to describe variables, test relationships, and examine cause-and-effect
      interactions. Quantitative research includes experimental research, which is the method for
      testing cause-and-effect relationships between and among specific variables. Qualitative
      research methods are used for explaining meanings and describing experiences in context.
      Descriptive research involves identifying and understanding the nature of phenomena and,
      sometimes, the relationships among them. Outcomes research examines the end result of
      carein huge populations, most often retrospectively, using a database.

    2. Despite the presence of an intraventricular drain, the intracranial pressure of an ICU neuro
      patient remains increased. The nurse recalibrates the machine, makes sure the monitor is on
      the same level as the drain, checks all connections, and then notifies the physician, who comes
      to the unit and inserts a new drain. What type of reasoning prompts the nurse to recalibrate,
      ensure proper placement, and check connections?
      a. Abstract reasoning
      b. Concrete thinking
      c. Logistic reasoning
      d. Reality testing
      ANS: C
      Logistic reasoning is used to break a whole into parts that can be carefully examined.
      Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by tangible things or by events that are
      observed and experienced in reality. Abstract reasoning is oriented toward the development
      ofan idea without application to, or association with, a particular instance. Reality testing is
      usedto validate what is observed in the empirical world.

      a. Abstract reasoning

      1. A nurse with considerable clinical expertise develops a policy for managing agitated
        patientsin the emergency department. The type of reasoning the nurse uses to do this is
        reasoning.
        a. Problematic
        b. Operational
        c. Logistic
        d. Inductive
        ANS: D
        Inductive reasoning involves reasoning that moves from the specific to the general, whereby
        particular instances are observed and then combined into a larger whole or general
        statement.Problematic reasoning involves (1) identifying a problem and factors influencing
        it, (2) selecting solutions to the problem, and (3) resolving the problem. Operational
        reasoning involves the identification of and discrimination among many alternatives and
        viewpoints.
        Logistic reasoning is used to break the whole into parts that can be carefully examined, as
        therelationships among the parts can also be.

      2. What is the best explanation of intuition that forms a legitimate source of knowledge in
        nursing?
        a. It is based on knowledge thoroughly incorporated into thought but
        seldomarticulated.
        b. It is based on a gift from the universe and should be honored when it arrives.
        c. It is never inaccurate.
        d. It is a revisiting of old knowledge, accompanied by deep reflection.
        ANS: A
        Intuition is the revisiting of old knowledge accompanied by deep reflection.

      3. Why is operational reasoning necessary for research?
        a. Abstract concepts are of no use to nursing.
        b. Standard interventions are obtained from operational reasoning.
        c. It allows the researcher to measure the concepts studied.
        d. It facilitates the researcher\u2019s rapport with families.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
