Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A Circle of Caring

1. A medic has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the effect of handwashing 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.

CORRECT: B

Explanation: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
results most 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 medic 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 medic 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?

CORRECT: A

Explanation: 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.

simply as a trade or a skill.

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

CORRECT: D

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

4. Tracy is a medic with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit of a
busyurban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their babies

C) Inform the research assistant that the clients consent is likely invalid.

D) Explain to the client that his written consent is now legally binding.

CORRECT: C

Explanation: Just as the staff medic is not responsible for medical consent, the staff medic is not
responsible for research consent. If clients 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 clients about the study, even after a
client has signed the consent forms.

7. Mrs. Mayes is a 73-year-old woman who has a diabetic foot ulcer that has been extremely slow to
heal and which now poses a threat of osteomyelitis. The wound care medic who has been working
with Mrs. Mayes applies evidence-based practice (EBP) whenever possible and has proposed the use
of maggot therapy to debride necrotic tissue. Mrs. Mayes, however, finds the suggestion repugnant
and adamantly opposes this treatment despite the sizable body of evidence supporting it. How should
the medic reconcile Mrs. Mayes views with the principles of EBP?

A) The medic should explain that reliable and valid research evidence overrides the clients opinion.
