A client in the clinic asks why the nurse wants the client to participate in a research project when research on the subject has been published by the American Medical Association (AMA). The nurse concludes that a goal of nursing research is to:
1. Validate nursing through medical research.
2. Educate the public about the profession.
3. Compare products used in nursing care.
4. Support the medical profession.
2. Educate the public about the profession.
Rationale:
Many people do not understand that nursing is a separate profession from the medical profession. One reason that nursing research is undertaken is to ensure the credibility of the nursing profession as separate from medicine with the potential to make valuable contributions to client care. Nursing research validates nursing, not medicine. Nursing research is not established to compare products but to improve client care. Nursing research does not seek to support the medical profession but the nursing profession.
