Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
After implementation of an intervention, nurses need to evaluate the effectiveness of the change to determine whether the change should be embraced or reevaluated.
There is no need for dependent variables to be under a nurse's control.
Once the study is complete, useful findings can be implemented outside of experimental conditions.
Independent control is not necessary for successful implementation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Innovations that are consistent with current values, past experiences, and need priorities are more likely to be adopted in practice quickly.
Authenticity is not a characteristic of an innovation.
Uniqueness is not a characteristic of an innovation.
Multiplicity is not a characteristic of an innovation.
