Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing Exam


You are a nurse researcher interviewing senior oncology nurses, asking them to describe how
they deal with the loss of a patient. The analysis of the interviews yields common themes
describing the nurses' grief. This is an example of which type of study? - Qualitative
study.



(A qualitative study involves inductive reasoning to develop generalizations or theories from
specific observations or interviews. Historical research establishes facts and relationships
concerning past events. Correlational research is exploration of the interrelationships among
variables of interest without any intervention by the researcher. An experimental study
involves the use of tightly controlled subject groups, variables, and procedures to eliminate
bias and ensure that findings can be generalized to similar groups of subjects.)



An operating room nurse is talking with colleagues during a meeting. She asks, "I wonder if we
would see fewer wound infections if we used chlorhexidine instead of povidone-iodine to
clean the skin of our surgical patients? What does the P represent in this example of a PICOT
question? - Surgical patients.



(Surgical patients are the patient population of interest (P) in the PICOT (patient population,
intervention, comparison, outcome, time) question. The intervention is the cleaning of the
skin, and the comparison of interest is between chlorhexidine use and povidone-iodine use.
Operating room nurses are not an element of the PICOT question.)



A nurse researcher is designing an exercise study that involves 100 patients who attend a
wellness clinic. As the patients come to the clinic, each has a choice as to whether he or she
wants to be in the new exercise program or remain in the traditional program. The nurse plans
to measure the patients' self-report of exercise before and 6 months after the program begins.
What factor might influence the results of this study in an unfavourable way? -
Sampling method.



(Because the patients at the clinic are allowed their choice of the traditional versus the new
exercise program, the sampling in this study is not random sampling.)

, The foundation of research is which of the following? - Scientific method.



(The scientific method is the foundation of research and is the most reliable and objective of
all methods of obtaining knowledge. Documentation, critical thinking, and evidence are not
the foundations of research.)



A researcher gives a subject full and complete information about the purpose of a study. This
is an example of which of the following? - Informed consent.



(Informed consent implies that the research subjects are given full and complete information
about the purpose of the study, procedures, data collection, potential harms and benefits,
and alternative methods of treatment. Confidentiality rules guarantee that any information
the subject provides will not be reported to people outside the research team. Bias is any
personal opinion or judgement that may be interjected into the results. Anonymity means
that the subject's name and identifying information would not be disclosed during the
research study.)



A new nurse on an orthopedic unit is assigned to care for a patient undergoing skeletal
traction. The nurse asks a colleague, "What is the best practice for cleaning pin sites in skeletal
traction?" This question is an example of which of the following? -
Knowledge-focused trigger.



(A knowledge-focused trigger is a question regarding new information available on a topic. A
problem-focused trigger is one faced while the nurse is caring for a patient or noting a trend.
The PICOT (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) format is a way to phrase a
question to help clarify the question and the parts. A hypothesis is a prediction about the
relationship between study variables.)



The nurses on a medical unit have seen an increase in the number of pressure injuries
developing in their patients. The nurses decide to initiate a quality improvement project with
the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) model. Which of the following is an example of the "do" step of
that model? - Implement a new skin care protocol on all medical units.
