Does a research nurse understand that evidence-based practice in nursing does which of the following? A.
Relies on tradition B.
Consults recognized authorities C.
Depends primarily on textbooks D.
Is based on the latest research
EBP prioritizes research findings, which are found primarily in primary sources, such as journals, rather than in secondary sources, such as textbooks. It is not dependent on tradition or authority.

A researcher wants to explore the process by which men make decisions about treatment for prostate cancer. The researcher’s paradigm is most likely which of the following?
A.
Positivism B.
Determinism C.
Empiricism D.
Constructivism
As this study involves gathering subjective, non-measurable data, the researcher’s paradigm is most likely constructivism. Positivism is not likely, as there is no emphasis on an objective, orderly reality. Determinism, which refers to the belief that phenomena result from prior causes and are not haphazard, is not pertinent here. Although the research will involve empiricism, or gathering information using the senses, this is not the primary paradigm.

Because this study would involve a measurable, numeric outcome—blood pressure—it should most likely be a quantitative study.

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 C.
Document the role nursing serves in society D.
Establish research priorities
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 by nurses and other healthcare professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing profession, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.

Does constructivist qualitative research typically do one of the following? A.
Involves deductive processes B.
Attempts to control the research context to better understand the phenomenon being studied C.
Involves gathering narrative, subjective materials D.
Focuses on numeric information
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. In the positivist paradigm, it is assumed that there is an objective reality and that natural phenomena are regular and orderly. 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. The other answers are truer of positivist, quantitative research.

Read research
In the current EBP environment, every nurse is likely to engage in one or more activities along a continuum of research participation. At one end of the continuum are users (consumers) of nursing research—nurses who read research reports to keep up-to-date on findings that may affect their practice. EBP depends on well-informed nursing research consumers. At the other end of the continuum are the producers of nursing research: nurses who actively design and undertake studies.

Does empiricism refer to one 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
Empiricism is gathering and analyzing evidence through the senses. Quantitative research involves the collection and analysis of numeric information. Quantitative research is typically conducted within the traditional scientific method, which is systematic and controlled. Quantitative researchers base their findings on empirical evidence and strive for generalizability beyond a single setting or situation. 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.

Evidenced-based nursing primarily uses one of the following to answer clinical questions? A.
Consulting an authority B.
Using intuition C.
Obtaining the newest research D.
Relying on experience
Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research, and to base their practice on evidence from research—that is, to adopt an evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP, broadly defined, is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions. Experience, intuition, and authority are not wholly ignored in the EBP process, but research is a priority.

Nursing has experienced constant change over the past decades as a result of increased research. When determining best practices, nursing decisions should do which of the following? Select all that apply.
A.
Be based on tradition
B.
Include holistic approaches
C.
Be clinically appropriate
D.
Be cost-effective
Nurse leaders recognize the need to base specific nursing decisions on evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically appropriate, cost-effective, and result in positive client outcomes. Holistic treatments may be appropriate in some, but not all, circumstances. Tradition alone is an inadequate basis for practice.
