Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The criteria for utilization of research in nursing practice are replication, scientific merit, risk, clinical merit, clinical control, feasibility, cost, and potential for clinical evaluation. Whether anyone in the group has previous knowledge of the researcher, whether the research is original, and the ease of implementation of the changes are less important than the scientific merit of the study.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

According to Rogers' theory, the knowledge stage is when a nurse learns about an innovation, the persuasion stage is when the nurse develops a positive or negative attitude about the innovation, the decision stage is when the nurse determines whether to adopt or reject the innovation, and the implementation stage is when the nurse uses the innovation regularly.
