Study design where two groups of subjects can be compared

Which of the following is the best definition of evidence-based practice (EBP)?

Use of theory-derived, research-based information in making decisions about health care delivery, with consideration of individual needs and preferences and the clinical expertise of the provider.

TRUE

Using an indexing to know as a key term

TRUE

When you reference a person, you are honoring the prior research work

Steps to advance EBP

Also Read evidence related to your area of practice in a regular basis.

Social support

Example of a Construct

Use performance criteria related to EBP.

How can a nurse manager advance EBP as part of evaluating his or her staff?

What is one step a staff nurse can take to advance EBP at the point of care?

Identify clinical questions related to current nursing practice.

Why would a researcher need to be concerned about the administration of a pretest and posttest in a research study?

It is a threat to internal validity.

Which of the following is an example of primary sources?

Journal articles

Which of the following is the best definition of research?

Planned and systematic activity that leads to new knowledge and/or the discovery of solutions to problems or questions.

As a staff nurse, how can you further educate yourself about EBP?

Read evidence related to your area of practice on a regular basis.

How can a nurse manager advance EBP as part of evaluating his or her staff?

Use performance criteria related to EBP.

TRUE

Validity should still be considered with all Quantitative designs

Ethical benevolence TRUE

you can compare respect for person because benevolence involves resolve possible harm and autonomy

The major difference between experimental and nonexperimental designs is the role of the

researchers.

When to start a research

Gathering information to write a literature review.

Characteristics of randomized controlled trials(RCT) and quantitative research studies

(RCT), a term used to describe an experimental study that is conducted in healthcare settings. The RCT designation refers to the fact that the study is "clinical" in nature rather than a specific type of design.

research problem.

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 a

purpose statement

An example of a _______________ is: "To determine if brief screening for alcohol use and nursing intervention during orientation reduces self-reported alcohol use, alcohol-related injuries, and visits to the emergency room by college students during their freshman year."

problem statement.

An example of a is: "The use of alcohol by freshman at XYZ State University contributes to alcohol-related injuries and increasing numbers of visits to the local emergency room."

TRUE

Because external validity is quantitative and qualitative designs.

As nurses we have to be able to develop abilities needed to perform our research review, and increase our knowledge about specific topic, how can we do that?

Because when you do that It will provide the basis for informed Evidence Base Practice decision making.

TRUE

Bring new ideas challenging old knowledge

organizational level.

Creating an EBP culture is an example of contribution at the

Threats to external validity:

Effects of selection- study sample rather than an entire population

Research review and literature review

For researchers, the literature review identifies gaps in the current research, highlights areas of needed change, increases awareness about practice, and helps sharpen and focus a research question. Because of the increasing emphasis on evidence-based practice (EBP), nurses must develop abilities to perform literature reviews to increase knowledge about a specific topic and provide the basis for an informed, professional opinion to champion EBP in clinical settings.

To begin a literature review, what initial sources would you use to locate information on your topic of interest?

Health sciences publication indexes, government and university literature databases, academic and hospital library resources

Answer: explanatory (p. 15)

The category of research that addresses why or how phenomena are related is _____________________.

metaparadigm

The concepts that are core to nursing are person, environment, health, and nurse; these are known as the nursing

EBP is theory driven

Theory and EBP

Dependent variables and physiological outcomes TRUE

When the purpose of the statement was to determine the extent to which sex, age, height, weight predicts selected physiological outcome

TRUE

When the purpose of the statement was to determine the extent to which sex, age, height, weight predicts selected physiological outcome

(Descriptive research and explanatory research and their differences) FALSE

When we said descriptive research differs from explanatory research because descriptive research is solid consent with identified relationship among the phenomenon being studied

FALSE

When you Talk about Panel design, cross-over design, train design, as perceptive design, cohort design differ from longitudinal design

Factorial

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

(Research hypothesis Prospective designs, cohort designs--differ from longitudinal designs) FALSE

You are asking a question "alcohol in the university" ....

Answer: descriptive (p. 15)

___________________________ research is concerned with providing accurate observations of phenomena in natural settings

Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and EBP?

b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best care.

Quantitative studies

often are designed for the purpose of making comparisons either by comparing different groups of subjects or by comparing the same subject at different points in time.
