Century: A Circle of Caring
1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of handwashing
on theincidence 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
resultsmost 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
parentswho have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
when appraising the results of this study?

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 aqualitative methodology.
3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
claiming thatnursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague

C) Inform the research assistant that the patients consent is likely invalid.
D) Explain to the patient that his written consent is now legally binding.
Ans: C
Feedback: Just as the staff nurse is not responsible for medical consent, the staff nurse is not
responsible for research consent. If patients who have agreed to participate exhibit
ambivalence or uncertainty about participating, do not try to convince them to participate. Ask
the person from the research team who is managing consents to speak with concerned
patients about the study, even aftera patient has signed the consent forms.

C) Research studies
D) Patient preferences and values

and patient caredata with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values.
