• When the nurse can "integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care", the nurse is into:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP)
• Research may ignore the significance of life events to the individual but nursing care should consider FAME of the interventions and plans. FAME stands for:

  • Feasible, appropriate, meaningful and effective
• A research methodology that systematically collects the data, statistically analyzes and numerically interprets the data:

  • Quantitative research
• It is important that the nurse researcher should follow a blueprint or a general layout of the study called:

  • Research design
• Nurses who are reading research reports to inform their practice need a basic understanding of the research process in order to judge the credibility of a study's:

  • Findings and their usefulness for EPB
• Nurses who are assisting with a study as a member of a research team need to understand the research process in order to provide meaningful insight into a study and help ensure that it results in credible and useful information
• A type of research design where the researcher controls the independent variable by administering treatment to some participants while withholding it from others and it is used to determine cause-and-effect relationships:

  • Experimental design
• Nursing research usually involves humans, therefore, protecting the rights of study participants is a major responsibility of the nurse. These responsibilities are to be:

  • Aware of and to advocate on behalf of clients' rights
• They are referred to as the representative of the target population or able to represent the phenomenon of interest:

  • Sample
• A key responsibility for nurses who are assisting on a research team is to:

  • Protect the rights of clients who are participating in the study
• A scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and generates new knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice:

  • Nursing Research
• Formal, objective, systematic process to describe, test relationships, or examine cause-and-effect interactions among variables:

  • Quantitative research
• Reasoning from the specific to the general:

  • Inductive reasoning
• Reasoning from the general to the specific or from a general premise to a particular situation:

  • Deductive reasoning
• A knowledge base for nursing practice that can be developed through conducting numerous, high-quality studies:

  • Scientific knowledge
• In Benner's model, this is important in acquiring nursing knowledge:

  • Personal experience
• Smaller version of a proposed study conducted to develop and/or refine the methodology, such as the treatment, instruments, or data collection process to be used in the larger study:

  • Pilot study
• Statements taken for granted or considered true, even though they have not been scientifically tested:

  • Assumptions
• Tohnigqautative and tiveqiatlau srecahr era esenstial to singnur ledkngeow:

  • Both Quantitative and qualitative research are essential to nursing knowledge
• Searerch nowkdegle si deende to trconol tcosuome in urinngs actripce:

  • Research knowledge is needed to control outcomes in nursing practice
• A type of research design that there may be no identifiable independent and dependent variables in the study, in which it is used fir descriptive research studies:

  Nonexperimental design
