NURSING – AN INTERPROFESSIONAL APPROACH 5TH EDITION DUNPHY
Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring


1. A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of hand
washing on the incidence 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
results most likely represent a no chance 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 expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague best
defend the importance of nursing research?




A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal grant
money, something that didnt use to be the case.

,B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and has
greatly increased the credibility of the profession.


C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true profession,
rather than simply as a trade or a skill.


D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice and
patient outcomes.


Ans: D


Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.

3. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience
of parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
when appraising the results of this study?


A) How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?

, 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 a
qualitative methodology.




4. Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit of a
busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their babies
when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage more
women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research project
that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?


A) Applying for grant funding for the research project


B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers


C) Planning the methodology of the research project


D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication Ans: B
Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research. Grant
applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally carried out by
nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.


5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to patient
by a research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand the
research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nurse
