Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
One obstacle to applying research to practice is the difficulty in bedside access to information by nurses. Nurses often lack the time to participate in research-related activities. By reading research articles, the nurse may notice discrepancies in what is recommended in current practice and what is found in the literature. Nurses often feel that their bedside nursing care is removed from the research process. However, nurses participate every day in the care of patients, which is based on the nursing process. Nurses should use research to improve the quality of patient care and should understand the research base before initiating nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A dissemination plan should be devised at the beginning of the research.
