-compiles published research according to specific areas of
study, historical/chronological evaluation, etc
-uncovers deficient areas of research
disadvantages:
-may be biased
-may not be exhaustive
-lack criteria for selecting research
-may not critique the quality of research
-fails to outline approaches for resolving contradictory evidence
anonymity in research Correct Answer the subject's identity
cannot be linked with their data, even by the researcher
applied research Correct Answer scientific investigation
conducted to generate knowledge that is intended to have a
direct influence on practice
answer specific questions
appraisal of qualitative research Correct Answer 1. identify the
elements or processes of the study
2. determine strengths and weaknesses
3. evaluate study's credibility and its meaning for nursing (are

improve clinical care, what was its impact, what new knowledge
was gained

causal: dieting women participating in a formal exercise regimen
will have greater weight loss than dieting women without an
exercise program
attrition Correct Answer loss of study subjects
limiting this increases a study's rigor
basic research Correct Answer a scientific investigation
directed towards better understanding withOUT emphasis on
application
confirm theoretical ideas
findings can be broadly generalized and can be used to inform
clinical decisions or to generate other applied research
beneficence Correct Answer do good and do no harm
best practice Correct Answer defined by regulatory,
accreditation agencies, and professional standards
-practice that may not have compelling evidence/research to
