Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nursing profession is striving for evidence-based practice, which includes critiquing studies, synthesizing the findings, and applying the scientific evidence in practice.
A thorough critique of a research study will assist the reader to better understand research, but that is not why the critique process is essential.
Critiquing of research does indicate a certain degree of expertise in the area, but is not the reason it is essential.
Individual preference for research is really not a consideration when studies are selected for publication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Evaluation of the study critique is establishing the quality of the study and its appropriateness for implementation in practice.
Examining internal validity would be part of the comparison and analysis phases.
Examining methodology would be part of the comparison and analysis phases.
Examining sample size would be part of the comparison and analysis phases.
