Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Some organizations do not encourage nurses to be actively involved in research use because change is costly and time consuming.
Institutions do not prohibit nursing research; they just do not tend to encourage it.
Clinically relevant research is conducted all the time.
Nursing research is primarily conducted to establish good clinical practices.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Organizations with management styles and communication patterns that encourage innovation and change are more likely to embrace and encourage research use in practice.
Support of the nursing staff would not in and of itself be enough to facilitate research use unless nurses put it as a top priority.
Traditional nursing policies and practices may not facilitate current research use, and a desire for acceptable ones is not enough to facilitate research use.
Successful research use requires a willingness to change.
