Exam 20: Understanding Research Utilization and EBP Collaboration in Nursing Practice.

An area of concern due to a gap in knowledge that requires a solution that can be described, explained, or predicted to improve practice is known as which of the following?

In what way can evidence from disciplines other that of nursing compare to nursing evidence and be helpful to a nurse?

The four broad concepts that are core to nursing are person, environment, health, and nurse; these are known as which of the following?

In a study about the postpartum habits of mothers, what should be kept in mind regarding determining sample size?

Which of the following reasons is the most important reason for a nurse to develop abilities needed to perform a research review and increase knowledge about a specific topic?

How would researchers conduct a community-based participatory research study with the goal of improving home oral health care of migrant workers' children?

How do primary sources used in in scholarly literature differ from primary sources used in other periodicals?

Because internal and external validity were originally developed to evaluate cause-and-effect relationships, this makes them most relevant for experimental designs. However, validity should still be considered with all quantitative designs.

In evaluating evidence, what is the best measure if there are extreme values in the data set?

When an epidemiologist determines that the disease transmission cycle of an infectious disease outbreak can be controlled with a vector control, which side of the epidemiologic triangle is being broken?

What makes qualitative research designs different from quantitative research designs?

Which of the following design type allows researchers to manipulate more than one intervention during the same experiment?

The peer review process ensures that research articles and papers to be published either as primary or secondary sources meet established criteria for publication.

An example of the fourth level of the Pyramid of the 5 Ss, Synopses, would be research article abstracts.

A better, more powerful, and more accurate method for determining sample size for quantitative studies is to conduct a power analysis. This is because when it is conducted and used correctly, nurses can have a greater assurance that the sample size was appropriate for the study and be confident to apply the findings to the target population.

When formulating hypotheses, how do conceptual definitions differ from operational definitions?

How does a concept analysis compare with that of a case study when contributing to a nurse's body of knowledge?

Of the situations listed, which is the best example of collaboration between the levels described in the model of EBP collaboration?

A client and care provider have identified that a 30-pound weight loss is needed to attain the desired body mass index (BMI) for a client. The client's measured weight and BMI 2 years following weight reduction is an example of which type of outcome?
