1. Nurse researchers should not be concerned with the PRISMA checklist and instructions.

During an initial review of a study, the reviewer will expect the methods section of the research report to include: 1. a description of the study design and sampling methods. 2. the limitations and generalizations of the study. 3. tables and figures representing study results. 4. the framework and definitions of study variables.

1. a description of the study design and sampling methods.

Outcomes research cannot be used for patients with chronic conditions 3. Outcomes reserach is concerned with the effectiveness of healthcare interventions and health services. 4.

The goal of a critical appraisal should be to: 1. determine where faults exist in the study design. 2. evaluate whether a proposed study is feasible. 3. identify the meaning and credibility of the study. 4. review the credentials and expertise of the researcher.

3. identify the meaning and credibility of the study. An intellectual critical appraisal involves careful examination of all aspects of a study to judge the strengths, weaknesses, meaning, credibility, and significance of a study. Identifying faults in the study design is part of a critical appraisal but not the end goal. Reviewers conduct feasibility analyses prior to approval of a study. Evaluating the researcher's credentials is part of a critical appraisal but not the end goal.

How are study results utilized to develop evidence for practice? 1. Only evidence and data from strong studies are used. 2. Only quantitative studies are used to build evidence. 3. Studies must be replicated successfully to be used for evidence. 4. Strong points from multiple studies are used to build evidence.

4. Strong points from multiple studies are used to build evidence. Adding together the strong points from multiple studies slowly builds a solid base of evidence for practice. Many flawed studies contain strong points that may be used to build evidence. Qualitative and quantitative studies are both used in evidence building. It is not necessary to replicate every study to use data for evidence.
