Chapter 01: Integrating Research, Evidence-Based Practice, and Quality Improvement
Processes
LoBiondo-Wood & Haber: Nursing Research: Methods and Critical Appraisal for
Evidence-Based Practice, 9th Edition


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Nursing research is significant to the profession of nursing because it promotes what?
a. More specifically defined nursing practice responsibilities
b. Decreased liability within the practice of nursing
c. Generation of a specialized body of nursing knowledge for use in nursing practice
d. Expansion of the scope of nursing practice into areas formerly reserved for other
disciplines
ANS: C

Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional
guidelines already exist regarding responsibility. Each state has a Nurse Practice
Act with rules and regulations that define scope of practice.
B Liability is a legal concept related to a nurse’s legal scope of practice and
professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liability.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge base that empowers
the nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of
health care delivery to multiple populations. It provides a foundation for
evidence-based nursing care and quality improvement activities.
D Although research can document nursing accountability, each state’s Nurse
Practice Act defines the scope of nursing practice for that state.

2. Which aspect of the scientific investigation of nursing practice is also a fundamental concept
of American Nurses Association (ANA)’s Code for Nurses?
a. Professional accountability
b. Standards of care
c. Legal scope of practice
d. Advanced practice nursing activities
ANS: A

Feedback
A Scientific investigation promotes accountability, a hallmark of the nursing
profession and a fundamental concept of the ANA’s Code for Nurses.
B Standards of care are defined by ANA, as well as specialty nursing organizations.

per se are not part of the Code.
C Legal scope of practice is defined by each state’s Nurse Practice Act and
elaborated in its rules and regulations.
D The ANA Code applies to nursing practice in general, not advanced practice.

which of these reasons?
a. To identify potential subjects for clinical research studies
b. To assist as accurate data collectors in clinical research studies
c. To teach patients and their families about the usefulness of consenting to
participate in research
d. To be able to evaluate nursing research reports for relevance to their own clinical
practice
ANS: D

Feedback
A Subject identification is determined by the nurse researcher.
B Data collectors need to understand their role in the study; they do not need to
understand the entire research process.
C Subject recruitment is the responsibility of the nurse researcher.
D Nurses need to understand the research process in order to critically read research
reports and determine if nursing practice should incorporate the research findings
as valid evidence.

research?

d. Implementing an intervention found to be effective in one clinical case study
ANS: C

investigator analyzes data.
C A consumer of nursing research needs to understand the research process to
determine the merit and relevance of evidence presented in research studies.
D A consumer would not implement an intervention on the basis of a single case
study.

delivered
