1) What is the best reason that scholars consider Florence Nightingale to be the first nurse
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
researcher?
g
A) She changed nursing by basing her practice on her research findings.
g g g g g g g g g g
B) She identified a body of knowledge unique to nursing.
g g g g g g g g
C) She collected data in a systematic fashion.
g g g g g g
D) She communicated the data collected to other nurses.
g g g g g g g
Answer: A
g g
Explanation: A) Florence Nightingale used the research process as an entity and did not merely
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
use some aspects of the research process. She used this systematic approach and its resultant
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
findings to change nursing practice.
g g g g g
B) Only in recent years have nurses concentrated on establishing a unique body of nursing
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gknowledge. This has occurred in the years since Nightingale.
g g g g g g g g
C) Although Nightingale did begin systematically making and recording data, it was her
g g g g g g g g g g g
gadmonishment that all nurses do the same that began to change nursing. g g g g g g g g g g g
D) Whereas Nightingale used observations to influence practice in her sphere of control, it is
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gunclear how widely she was able to disseminate the information.

2) Research is important to the nursing profession for many reasons. What is the ultimate goal of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
nursing research?
g g
A) Document the cost-effectiveness of nursing care. g g g g g
B) Ensure credibility of the nursing profession.
g g g g g
C) Promote evidence-based practice in nursing. g g g g
D) Provide accountability for the nursing profession.
g g g g g
Answer: C
g g
Explanation: A) Whereas cost-effective nursing care is important, it is not as important as
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
providing optimum care. Many would argue that cost-effectiveness is a part of optimum care. B)
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Whereas nursing research will help to establish credibility of the nursing profession, this result
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gis not as important as providing optimum care to the client.
g g g g g g g g g g
C) The major reason for conducting research is to foster optimum care for clients. Evidence-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gbased practice is nurses making clinical decisions based on the best research evidence, the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gnurse's clinical expertise, and the health preferences of the client.
g g g g g g g g g
D) Whereas nursing research does provide rationale for nursing actions, thereby promoting
g g g g g g g g g g
gaccountability, this is not as important as providing optimal care to the client.

A) The effect of nurse-led community education on the prevalence of heart disease
g g g g g g g g g g g
B) The number of students entering nursing programs

g g g g g g g g g g
D) The job satisfaction level of currently employed nurses
g g g g g g g
Answer: A
g g
Explanation: A) Promoting health and preventing disease is an area of research emphasis for the

NINR. Evaluating the effects of nurse-led community education about health matches this area
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
of emphasis.
