A graduate nurse has scheduled an appointment with the director of the Center for Nursing Research within the National Institutes of Health. What types of research should the graduate nurse prepare to discuss during this meeting?
1. Medication compliance.
2. Reduction in sentinel events.
3. Health promotion and illness prevention.
4. Elimination of hospital-acquired infections.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Growing evidence indicates a shift to greater emphasis on health promotion and illness prevention in national and international health policy. Evidence of this shift is the 1988 creation of the Center for Nursing Research within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). One reason given in Senate testimony favoring the center was the health promotion and illness prevention focus in much of nursing research. Medication compliance, reduction in sentinel events, and elimination of hospital-acquired infections might be topics for future nursing research; however, these topics do not explain the type of research being conducted within the Center for Nursing research.
