Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Nurses are expected to be knowledgeable about research in the field and to use evidence-based findings in their decision making. Outcomes are never more important than the process in health care; the ends do not justify the means. Although cost-effectiveness is important, patient well-being is the nurse's prime consideration. Although research does use the scientific approach, that alone does not justify it as being important to nursing.

Correct Answer: 4
