TEST BANK: PRIMARY CARE ART AND SCIENCE
OF ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSING – AN
INTERPROFESSIONAL APPROACH 5TH EDITION
DUNPHY
Chapter 1: Primary Care in the Twenty-First
Century: A Circle of Caring
1. A nurse 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.
Answer: B
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the
study results most likely represent a no chance 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 nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience of
parents who have a neonatal loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse
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?
Answer: A
Feedback: 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 a qualitative methodology.
3. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague
best defend the importance of nursing research?
, A) The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to access
federal grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
B) Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral programs
and has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.
C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice
and patient outcomes.
Answer: D
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice
and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of
nursing research to education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the
profession.
4. Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor and delivery unit of a
busy urban hospital. She has noticed that many new mothers abandon breast-feeding their
babies when they experience early challenges and wonders what could be done to encourage
more women to continue breast-feeding. What role is Tracy most likely to play in a research
project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-feeding?
A) Applying for grant funding for the research project
B) Posing the clinical problem to one or more nursing researchers
C) Planning the methodology of the research project
D) Carrying out the intervention and submitting the results for publication
Answer: B
Feedback: A major role for staff nurses is to identify questions or problems for research.
Grant applications, methodological planning, and publication submission are normally
carried out by nurses who have advanced degrees in nursing.
5. A patient signed the informed consent form for a drug trial that was explained to patient by a
research assistant. Later, the patient admitted to his nurse that he did not understand the
research assistants explanation or his own role in the study. How should this patients nurse
respond to this revelation?
A) Explain the research process to the patient in greater detail.
B) Describe the details of a randomized controlled trial for the patient.
C) Inform the research assistant that the patients consent is likely invalid.
D) Explain to the patient that his written consent is now legally binding.
Answer: C
, Feedback: Just as the staff nurse is not responsible for medical consent, the staff nurse is not
responsible for research consent. If patients 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
patients about the study, even after a patient has signed the consent forms.
6. A nurse leader is attempting to increase the awareness of evidence-based practice (EBP)
among the nurses on a unit. A nurse who is implementing EBP integrates which of the
following? (Select all that apply.)
A) Interdisciplinary consensus
B) Nursing tradition
C) Research studies
D) Patient preferences and values
E) Clinical expertise
Answer: C, D, E
Feedback: Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Stillwell, and Williamson define EBP as a problem-
solving approach to the delivery of healthcare that integrates the best evidence from studies
and patient care data with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values.
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 nurse 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 nurse reconcile Mrs. Mayes views with the
principles of EBP?
A) The nurse should explain that reliable and valid research evidence overrides the
patients opinion.
B) The nurse should explain the evidence to the patient in greater detail.
C) The nurse should integrate the patients preferences into the plan of care.
D) The nurse should involve the patients family members in the decision-making
process.
Answer: C
Feedback: Patient preferences should be integrated into EBP and considered alongside
research evidence and the nurses clinical expertise; evidence does not trump the patients
preferences. The family should be involved, but this is not an explicit dimension of EBP.
Similarly, explaining the evidence in more detail is not a demonstration of EBP.
8. The administrators of a long-term care facility are considered the use of specialized,
pressure- reducing mattresses in order to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers among
, residents. They have sought input from the nurses on the unit, all of whom are aware of the
need to implement the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) in this decision. Which of
the following evidence sources should the nurses prioritize?
A) A qualitative study that explores the experience of living with a pressure ulcer
B) A case study that describes the measures that nurses on a geriatric unit took to reduce
pressure ulcers among patients
C) Testimonials from experienced clinicians about the effectiveness of the mattress in
question
D) A randomized controlled trial that compared the pressure-reducing mattress with standard
mattresses
Ans: D
Feedback: The most reliable evidence is considered RCTs. Qualitative studies, case studies,
and expert opinion are low on the hierarchy of evidence.
9. Hospital administrators are applying the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) in
their attempt to ascertain the most efficient and effective way to communicate between nurses
who are on different units, a project that will consider many types of evidence. Which of the
following information sources should the administrators prioritize?
A. A)A systematic review about communication in nursing contexts
B. B)Nurses ideas about communication methods
C. C)The results of a chart review
D. D)The hospitals accreditation status
Ans: A
Feedback: Systematic reviews are assigned a high value in EBP. Reviews would be
prioritized over nurses ideas or a chart review, though both are potential considerations.
The hospitals accreditation status is not a relevant consideration.
10. A nurse has resolved to apply the evidence-based practice (EBP) process to the way that
admission assessments are conducted and documented on a unit. How should the nurse begin the
process of establishing EBP?
A) Gather evidence showing the shortcomings of current practices
B) Formulate a clear and concise question to be addressed
C) Elicit support from the nurses who are most often responsible for admissions
D) Search the literature for evidence that is potentially relevant to the practice need
Ans: B
