Essentials of Nursing Research: Appraising Evidence for Nursing Practice 9th Edition by Polit, Beck

1. Which of the following groups would be best served by the development of a scientific
base for nursing practice?
A) Nursing administrators
B) Practicing nurses
C) Nurses' clients
D) Health care policymakers

Ans: C
Feedback:
Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about
issues of importance to nurses and their clients. Nurse leaders recognize the need to base
specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically
PR
appropriate, cost-effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Although all of the
people listed would benefit from the development of a scientific base for nursing
practice, ultimately it is the clients themselves who would most benefit, as they would
then receive the most appropriate and most effective care.
O
2. An especially important goal for the nursing profession is to do which of the following?
A) Conduct research to better understand the context of nursing practice
B) Establish a solid base of evidence for practice through disciplined research
FD
C) Document the role nursing serves in society
D) Establish research priorities

Ans: B
Feedback:
O
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their
practice on evidence from research. Evidence-based practice is the use of the best
evidence in making patient care decisions and typically comes from research conducted
C
by nurses and other health-care professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals
for the nursing profession, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

3. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the constructivist
paradigm?
A) A fixed reality exists in nature for humans to understand
B) The nature of reality has changed over time
C) Reality is multiply constructed and multiply interpreted by humans
D) Reality cannot be studied empirically

Ans: C
Feedback:
In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather
a construction of human minds, and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constructions
of reality. However, constructivists do believe that reality can be studied empirically.
Belief in a fixed reality that exists in nature for humans to understand would be an

, example of a positivist belief, not a constructivist one. The constructivist belief does not
hold so much that the nature of reality has changed over time as that it has always been
constructed by human minds.
4. Which of the following is a fundamental belief of those who hold to the positivist
paradigm?
A) The researcher is objective and independent of those being studied
B) The researcher cannot interact with those being studied
C) The researcher instructs those being studied to be objective in providing
information
D) The distance between the researcher and those being researched is minimized to
enhance the interactive process

Ans: A
Feedback:
In the positivist paradigm, it is assumed that there is an objective reality and that natural
phenomena are regular and orderly. In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that
reality is not a fixed entity but is rather a construction of human minds, and thus “truth”
PR
is a composite of multiple constructions of reality.

5. Which of the following attributes is least characteristic of the traditional scientific
method?
O
A) Control over external factors
B) Systematic measurement and observation of natural phenomena
C) Testing of hunches deduced from theory or prior research
D) Emphasis on a holistic view of a phenomenon, studied in a rich context
FD

Ans: D
Feedback:
Quantitative research (associated with positivism) involves the collection and analysis
of numeric information. Quantitative research is typically conducted within the
O
traditional scientific method, which is systematic and controlled. Quantitative
researchers base their findings on empirical evidence (evidence collected by way of the
human senses) and strive for generalizability beyond a single setting or situation.
C
Constructivist researchers emphasize understanding human experience as it is lived
through the collection and analysis of subjective, narrative materials using flexible
procedures; this paradigm is associated with qualitative research.

6. Empiricism refers to which of the following?
A) Making generalizations from specific observations
B) Articulating a study purpose in terms of an appropriate classification system
C) Gathering evidence about real-world phenomena through the senses
D) Verifying the assumptions on which the study was based

Ans: C
