Sample Questions
1. Which group is best served by the development of a rigorous base of evidence for nursing practice?
a. Nursing administrators
b. Practicing nurses
c. Nurses’ clients
d. Nurse researchers
ANS: C
Feedback: Nurse leaders have recognized the need to base specific nursing decisions on trustworthy evidence indicating that the decisions are clinically appropriate, cost- effective,and result in positive outcomes for their clients. Nursing groups benefit from nursing studies, but it is nurses’ clients themselves who benefit most because research-based evidence can improve their health and health-related quality of life.

2. Which is an example of a clinical nursing research question?
a. What percentage of nurses have a master’s or doctorate degree?
b. What factors contribute to clients’ risk of falling during a hospitalization?
c. In what ways do nursing students benefit from a course on evidence-based practice?
d. What course of action do nursing students pursue when faced with a moral dilemma?
ANS: B
Feedback: The answers to clinical nursing research questions have the potential to improve the health and well-being of nurses’ clients. Clinical nursing research questions focus directly on clients’ needs, experiences, and health behaviors, and answers to such questions can inform nurses’ decisions or lead to strategies to improve nursing practice. Researchers also study nursing education, but questions about nursing education, as exemplified in the other questions, would not be considered clinical nursing research questions.
