Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Feedback
A Although a hypothesis is sometimes theory based, sometimes it is not. Similarly, research questions are not always practice based. Sometimes they originate in educational theory that relates to nursing education research, and sometimes they originate in basic, rather than applied, research.
B A hypothesis attempts to answer the research question.
C Research problems are present in all types of research, and a hypothesis may be present in basic or applied research.
D Hypotheses and research questions are not identical. Hypotheses flow from research questions and suggest the ways the questions can be investigated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D

Feedback
Correct Developing young researchers increases the number of researchers contributing to the science of the discipline.
Introducing nurses to research at a younger age allows them sufficient time to develop in-depth research programs in their careers.
Introducing nurses to research at a younger age allows them time and opportunity to be mentored by experienced researchers, as well as to learn to become mentors themselves.
Incorrect Younger researchers do not guarantee research monies.
Pharmaceutical studies are medical research and are not considered nursing research studies.
