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



Caring pp




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



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



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




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




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




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




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




Ans: B pp




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



results most likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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



parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



when appraising the results of this study?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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




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




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




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




Ans: A pp




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



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



qualitative methodology.
pp pp




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



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



the importance of nursing research?
pp pp pp pp pp

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



money, something that didnt use to be the case.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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



greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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



than simply as a trade or a skill.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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



patient outcomes.
pp pp




Ans: D pp




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



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



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




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



busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



more women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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




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




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




D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




publication Ans: B
pp pp pp




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



Grant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



carried out by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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



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



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



respond to this revelation?
pp pp pp pp




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




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

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




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




Ans: C pp




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



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



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



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



after a patient has signed the consent forms.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




Multiple Selection pp




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



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



all that apply.)
pp pp pp




A) Interdisciplinary consensus pp




B) Nursing tradition pp




C) Research studies pp




D) Patient preferences and values pp pp pp




E) Clinical expertise pp




pp Ans: C, D, E pp pp pp




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



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



care data with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values.
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




Multiple Choice pp




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



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



working with Mrs. Mayes applies evidence-based practice (EBP) whenever possible and has
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



proposed the use of maggot therapy to debride necrotic tissue. Mrs. Mayes, however, finds the
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



suggestion repugnant and adamantly opposes this treatment despite the sizable body of evidence
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp



supporting it. How should the nurse reconcile Mrs. Mayes views with the principles of EBP?
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp




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




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