Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: In order for research to be ready for use in practice, the findings must have been replicated and demonstrated to be true with real patients as well as with normal subjects. Many times, nursing research has been conducted with nonrandom samples.
Rationale 2: This may be a factor, but the basic, fundamental issue is if the nurse is unsure that the findings are valid and therefore safe to implement.
Rationale 3: The nurse has the right to change his or her practice as long as the change is in the best interest of patient care.
Rationale 4: Although some nurses don't value research, the fundamental issue is safety.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 4: This is a barrier, but not the most common barrier.
Global Rationale:
