Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Effective literature searching is a necessary foundation to locating appropriate external evidence. Selection of an appropriate database is central to efficient literature searching. Use of medical subject heading (MeSH) terms expedites the searching process. Focusing on nursing diagnoses, data points, or patient outcomes may or may not provide the nurse with the needed information.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 1, 4, 3, 5

When conducting a qualitative research study the nurse should identify the problem of interest, develop the overall approach, develop the emergent research design, confirm and close the study, and interpret the data throughout the study.
