Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The significance of research is to fill in the gaps in current knowledge, building on previous research to provide a foundation for determining new information.
The skill with which the report was written does not correlate with the significance of the study.
The topic of interest in the research study needs to be one that will provide a significant difference to nursing practice, education, or further science for continued research. Although it is important that the researcher is interested in the topic being investigated, it is not imperative to the significance of the research to nursing.
What makes a study significant is not the actual statistical results but the relevance of the topic being researched to nursing practice, education and research, in the expansion of nursing science.
