A type of practice that serves as the basis for quality, safe care at a reasonable cost.
a. Evidence-based practice
b. human rights practice
c. retrospective study
d. cost-benefit analysis practice
What is Evidence-based practice?
The P in PICO
What is patient or population of interest?
A systemic investigation of phenomena, or problems important to nurses, to gain knowledge about improving patient care.
1. Scientific method
2. Evidence-based practice
3. Nursing research
4. Nursing science
What is Nursing Research?
A researcher's expectations about the outcomes of a study.
1.Scientific method
2.hypothesis
3.Nursing research
4.Nursing science
What is the hypothesis?
When a researcher uses a qualitative and quantitative approach to collecting data, this is referred to as:
1.Scientific integrity
2.Scientific rigor
3.Triangulation
4.Ways of knowing
Triangulation
A systematic process of investigating problems to gain knowledge about improving care that nurses provide.
Evidence-based practice
Nursing Research
Continuous Quality Improvement
Quality care
What is Nursing Research
Basis of the decision that collected data is sufficient in a qualitative design.
1. best evidence
2. saturation of data
3. deductive reasoning
4. scientific method
What is the saturation of data
Research that is done to examine findings of another researcher using the same variables but different subjects is referred to as:
1. Exploration
2. Replication
3. Empiricism
4. Rigor
What is Replication?
A type of research method emphasizing the meaning of an experience is termed:
1. Qualitative
2. Quantitative
3. Scientific integrity
4. Scientific method
What is qualitative
approach to generating knowledge using methods that emphasize subjectivity and the meaning of an experience for the individual
cross-sectional study
quantitative knowledge
qualitative knowledge
experimental knowledge
What is Qualitative knowledge
A situation in which the identity of subjects remains unknown to protect subjects participating in a study is referred to as:
1. Confidentiality
2. Human rights
3. Risk-benefit ratio
4. Anonymity
What is anonymity?
Describes what is already known about the research topic related to the research proposal.
methodology
background
thesis
problem statement
What is the background?
At a minimum, the nurse as research consumer is expected to:
1. Gather data through direct observation
2. Read and evaluate research projects
3. Author research papers for publication
4. Participate in the design and production of a study
What is read and evaluate research projects?
Quantitative research uses the following methods of data collection except:
1. Surveys
2. Questionnaires
3. Participant observation
4. Psychosocial instruments
participant observation. this is inline with qualitative research methods.
The O in PICO?

nursing research
What is a literature review?
What is the systematic inquiry into a subject that uses various approaches to answer questions and solve problems
1. replication
2. scientific process
3. research
4. rigor
What is Research?
Knowledge is information acquired in a variety of different ways. Methods used to acquire this knowledge are referred to as:
1. Scientific integrity
2. Scientific rigor
3. Triangulation, or mixed methods
4. Ways of knowing
Ways of knowing
The process of critically evaluating and analyzing data that have been gathered systematically about a phenomenon
Scientific inquiry
Ways of knowing
Scientific rigor
Triangulation
What is scientific inquiry
a reader of nursing research whose objective is applying findings to nursing practice or using the findings to conduct further research
1. Registered nurses
2. research consumer
3. patient care advocates
4. physicians or physician assistants
what is the Research Consumer

What are landmark or groundbreaking studies?
Striving for excellence in research which involves discipline, scrupulous adherence to detail, and strict accuracy
replication
rigor
triangulation
mixed methods
What is rigor.
