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




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




incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in acute care settings. An article presented
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




findings at a level of significance of <0.01. This indicates that
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




A) the control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) the findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




C) the effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




D) the clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




Ans: B txti




Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study results
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




most likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there is less
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience of parents
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize when
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




appraising the results of this study?
txti txti txti txti txti txti




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




B) How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have affected the findings?
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




C) Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the phenomenon in question?
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




D) Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




Ans: A txti




Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical measures and variables are not dimensions of a
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




qualitative methodology.
txti txti




3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research, claiming that
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague best defend the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




importance of nursing research?
txti txti txti txti

,A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access federal grant money,
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




something that didnt use to be the case.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs and has greatly
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




increased the credibility of the profession.
txti txti txti txti txti txti




C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true profession, rather than
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




simply as a trade or a skill.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




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




outcomes.
txti




Ans: D txti




Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and,
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




4. Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit of a busy
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their babies when
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage more women to
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research project that tests an
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?
txti txti txti txti txti




A) Applying for grant funding for the research project txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




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




C) Planning the methodology of the research project txti txti txti txti txti txti




D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




txti Ans: B txti




Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research. Grant
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally carried out by
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to patient by a
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nurse
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




respond to this revelation?
txti txti txti txti




A) Explain the research process to the patient in greater detail. txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) Describe the details of a randomized controlled trial for the patient. txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti

,C) Inform the research assistant that the patients consent is likely invalid.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




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




Ans: C txti




Feedback: Just as the staff nurse is not responsible for medical consent, the staff nurse is not
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




responsible for research consent. If patients who have agreed to participate exhibit ambivalence or
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




uncertainty about participating, do not try to convince them to participate. Ask the person from the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




research team who is managing consents to speak with concerned patients about the study, even after
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




a patient has signed the consent forms.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




Multiple Selection txti




6. A nurse leader is attempting to increase the awareness of evidence-based practice (EBP) among
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




the nurses on a unit. A nurse who is implementing EBP integrates which of the following? (Select all
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




that apply.)
txti txti




A) Interdisciplinary consensus txti




B) Nursing tradition txti




C) Research studies txti




D) Patient preferences and values txti txti txti




E) Clinicalexpertise txti




txti Ans: C, D, E txti txti txti




Feedback: Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Stillwell, and Williamson define EBP as a problem-solving
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




approach to the delivery of healthcare that integrates the best evidence from studies and patient care
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




data with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




Multiple Choice txti




7. Mrs. Mayes is a 73-year-old woman who has a diabetic foot ulcer that has been extremely slow to
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




heal and which now poses a threat of osteomyelitis. The wound care nurse who has been working
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




with Mrs. Mayes applies evidence-based practice (EBP) whenever possible and has proposed the use
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




of maggot therapy to debride necrotic tissue. Mrs. Mayes, however, finds the suggestion repugnant
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




and adamantly opposes this treatment despite the sizable body of evidence supporting it. How should
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




the nurse reconcile Mrs. Mayes views with the principles of EBP?
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




A) The nurse should explain that reliable and valid research evidence overrides the patients opinion.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) The nurse should explain the evidence to the patient in greater detail.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti

, C) The nurse should integrate the patients preferences into the plan of care.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




D) The nurse should involve the patients family members in the decision-making process.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




Ans: C txti




Feedback: Patient preferences should be integrated into EBP and considered alongside research
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




evidence and the nurses clinical expertise; evidence does not trump the patients preferences. The
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




family should be involved, but this is not an explicit dimension of EBP. Similarly, explaining the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




evidence in more detail is not a demonstration of EBP.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




8. The administrators of a long-term care facility are considered the use of specialized, pressure-
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




reducing mattresses in order to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers among residents. They have
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




sought input from the nurses on the unit, all of whom are aware of the need to implement the
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) in this decision. Which of the following evidence
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




sources should the nurses prioritize?
txti txti txti txti txti




A) A qualitative study that explores the experience of living with a pressure ulcer
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) A case study that describes the measures that nurses on a geriatric unit took to reduce pressure
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




ulcers among patients
txti txti txti




C) Testimonials from experienced clinicians about the effectiveness of the mattress in question txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




D) A randomized controlled trial that compared the pressure-reducing mattress with standard
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




mattresses
txti




Ans: D txti




Feedback: The most reliable evidence is considered RCTs. Qualitative studies, case studies, and
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




expert opinion are low on the hierarchy of evidence.
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




9. Hospital administrators are applying the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) in their
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




attempt to ascertain the most efficient and effective way to communicate between nurses who are on
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




different units, a project that will consider many types of evidence. Which of the following
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




information sources should the administrators prioritize?
txti txti txti txti txti txti




A) A systematic review about communication in nursing contexts
txti txti txti txti txti txti txti




B) Nurses ideas about communication methods txti txti txti txti




C) The results of a chart review
txti txti txti txti txti




D) Thehospitals accreditation status
