The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) funds various research projects that focus on its research priorities.
 
  A master's student wants to initiate research to study the relative accuracy of new computer-assisted assessment device that painlessly measures blood glucose values through a probe just distal to the insertion hub of a central line, in patients on insulin drips with hourly Accu-Chek readings. Does this pertain to any of the organization's research priorities, listed here? (Select all that apply.)
  a. Technology use to achieve patient assessment, management, or outcomes
  b. Prevention and management of complications
  c. Processes and systems that foster the optimal contribution of critical care nurses
  d. Creation of a healing, humane environment
  e. Development of processes and systems that foster the optimal contribution of critical care nurses

Question 2

The purpose of the research will be, most likely, to document how admirable charitable efforts by The Children of the Land were terminated by the well-meaning Los Angeles Police Force. What is incorrect about this wording? (Select all that apply.)
 
  a. A police organization cannot be named in a research purpose.
  b. A purpose should specify methodology.
  c. The terms admirable and well-meaning are both subjective.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) determined initial research priorities for this specialty in the early 1980s and revised these priorities based on patients needs and the changes in health care. The current AACN (2011) research priorities are identified on this organization's website as (1) effective and appropriate use of technology to achieve optimal patient assessment, management, or outcomes; (2) creation of a healing, humane environment; (3) processes and systems that foster the optimal contribution of critical care nurses; (4) effective approaches to symptom management; and (5) prevention and management of complications. This research study uses technology. Also, it saves the patient from interruptions in sleep, as the nurse flushes a line and draws blood hourly, or performs hourly Accu-Cheks, if the line will not draw.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
The purpose is generated from the problem, identifies the goal or goals of the study, and directs the development of the study. In the research process, the purpose is usually stated after the problem, because the problem identifies the gap in knowledge in a selected area and the purpose clarifies the knowledge to be generated by the study. The research purpose must be stated objectively, that is, in a way that does not reflect particular biases or values of the researcher. Investigators who do not recognize their values might include their biases in the research. This can lead them to generate the answers they want or believe to be true and might add inaccurate information to a discipline's body of knowledge.
