read and critique evidence-informed literature -Generate researchable questions and communicate them -participate in or conduct research -evaluate and promote evidence-informed practice.
How is evidence-informed decision-making different than Evidence Based Practice? correct answers evidence-informed decision making acknowledges the factors beyond research evidence (e.g. clinical expertise, client values, preferences, theories, ethics etc.)
What are some of the researcher's study-specific responsibilities? correct answers -
develop research questions
-select study design -ensure study is ethically sound
-collect the data -analyze the data -prepare and disseminate the study findings

What is a PICO/PECOT Research Question? correct answers helps to to define the research question:
P = population I/E = Intervention/Exposure
C = comparison
O = outcomes of interest
T = timeframe

3. Control: the introduction of one or more constants.
What is the "gold-standard" for establishing cause-and-effect relationships but that are not possible in many areas of nursing research? correct answers Random-control trials
What is a quasi-experimental design? correct answers -when not all conditions for an experimental design can be met
-weaker design bc groups may not be equal
What is a non-experimental design? correct answers -observational/exploratory
-there is no intervention or manipulation of the IV -e.g. cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, ecological designs.
Explain what a cohort study is correct answers -non-experimental design -prospective
-individual without the disease of interest are sampled and classified as having exposure or not
-looked at down the line to see if they got the disease or not -possible confounders/extraneous variables & may take a long time
What is a case-control study? correct answers -cases from specified population with disease and controls without the disease are sampled
-asked about exposure vs. non-exposure
-cheaper and faster than cohort study
-vulnerable to recall bias
