LoBiondo-Wood & Haber: Nursing Research: Methods and Critical Appraisal for Evidence-Based Practice, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Nursing research is significant to the profession of nursing because it promotes:
a. more specifically defined nursing practice responsibilities.
b. decreased liability within the practice of nursing.
c. generation of a specialized body of nursing knowledge for use in nursing practice.
d. expansion of the scope of nursing practice into other disciplines.
ANS: C
Feedback
A Research aids in documenting accountability of nurses, but professional guidelines already exist regarding responsibility. Each state has a Nurse Practice Act with rules and regulations that define scope of practice.
B Liability is a legal concept related to a nurse’s legal scope of practice and professional standards of practice. Research does not change a nurse’s liability.
C Nursing research generates a specialized scientific knowledge base that empowers the nursing profession to anticipate and meet constantly shifting challenges of health care delivery to multiple populations. It provides a foundation for evidence-based nursing care and quality improvement activities.
D Although research can document nursing accountability, each state’s Nurse Practice Act defines the scope of nursing practice for that state.
