Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Once a committee is formed with nurses interested in research, the next step in the process would be to compile a list of questions that are relevant to the nurse's practice. Suggesting that staff nurses try new methods of care may violate the nursing policies and should be conducted in an orderly fashion. It is not appropriate to research practices until the questions that pertain to the specific unit have been asked. Results cannot be evaluated until research has been reviewed and practice has been changed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D, E

The abstract provides a summary of the entire content of the journal article. The study describes in detail all the aspects and methods of the study. The results section reports statistical data. References list the resources available for additional information. Funding is not a necessary element of a research article.
