e. A way of incorporating new rules
h h h h h
ANS: A, C, E Nursing research is considered a “world” that is a truly new way of experiencing
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h reality. Entering a new world means learning a unique language, incorporating new rules,
h h h h h h h h h h h h
h and using new experiences to learn how to interact effectively within the
h h h h h h h h h h h
h world. The world of nursing research is not a way of using old experiences to
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
h learn nor a new way of learning multiple languages.

The BSN-prepared nurse is capable of appraising and summarizing research

Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process in which
h h h h h h h h h
hnumericaldata are used to obtain information about the world. Quantitative
h h h h h h h h h h
hresearch is conducted to test theory by describing variables, examining relationships
h h h h h h h h h h
hamong variables, and determining cause and effect interactions between variables.

Qualitative research findings are unique, dynamic, focused on understanding, and

Determining which interventions reduce asthma sick days is a controlled,
h
h h h h h h h h h
h quantitative, experimental study design; and a study about the effects of a
h h h h h h h h h h h
h medication is an experimental study. Asking what it is like to live with

h h h h h h h h h

MULTIPLE CHOICE h
1. A researcher conducts a study which outlines the daily habits of women who are
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
overweight.
h
This study represents what type of research? a. Correlational
h h h h h h h h
b. Descriptive
c. Experimental
d. Quasi-experimental
ANS: B h
Descriptive research is the exploration and description of phenomena in real-life
h h h h h h h h h h
situations. Correlational research involves the systematic investigation of
h h h h h h hhh hhh
relationships between or among variables. Experimental research is an objective,
h h h h h h h h h h
systematic, highly controlled investigation conducted for the purpose of
h h h h h h h h h
predictingand controlling phenomena. The purpose of quasi-experimental
h h h h h h h h
research is to examine causal relationships or determine the effect of one
h h h h h h h h h h h h
variable on another.Thus these studies involve implementing a treatment or
h h h h h h h hhh hhh h hhh hh
intervention and examining the effects of this intervention using selected methods of
h hhh h h h h h h h h h h
measurement.

ANS: B h
Correlational research involves the systematic investigation of relationships h h h h h h h
betweenor among variables. Basic research is scientific investigation that
h h h h h h h h h h
involves the pursuit of “knowledge for knowledge’s sake.” Historical research is a
h h h h h h h h h h h h
type of qualitative research. Phenomenological research is a type of qualitative
h h h h h h h h h h h
research.

3. The nurse evaluates a research study that examines the relationship between
h h h h h h h h h h
hcomputer and television screen time and obesity. A correlational analysis
h h h h h h h h h
hreveals a correlation of +0.95. h h h h
What can the nurse conclude about the relationship between these two variables?
h h h h h h h h h h h
h a.
An increase in
h h h screen time causes obesity. h h h
b. An increase h h in obesity leads to increased screen time.
h h h h h h
c. Screen time h h and obesity vary in opposite directions.
h h h h h
d. Screen time h h and obesity vary together. h h h
ANS: D h
A positive correlation between variables indicates that the variables vary together.
h h h h h h h h h h
Variables that vary in opposite directions will have a negative correlation.
h h h h h h h h h h h
Descriptive research is the exploration of phenomena in real-life situations.
h h h h h h h h h
Correlational studies do not indicate cause, so an increase in screen time or an
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
increase in obesity does not cause or lead to an increase in the other.

4. The overall plan developed by the researcher to obtain answers to the questions
h h h h h h h h h h h h
hbeing studied is called h h h
a. analysis of data. h h
b. operationally defining the variables. h h h
c. problem statement. h
d. research design. h
ANS: D h
Research design is a blueprint for the conduct of a study that maximizes
h h h h h h h h h h h h
controlover factors that could interfere with the study’s desired outcome. Data
h h h h h h h h h h h h
analysis reduces, organizes, and gives meaning to the data. Researchers develop
h h h h h h h h h h h
an operational definition so that the variables can be measured or an intervention
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
implemented in a study. The problem statement in a study usually identifies
h h h h h h h h h h h h
an area of concern for a particular population that requires investigations.
