The nurse is writing a paper on a research project as part of a class assignment. What should the nurse do to obtain the most current information about the research topic?
1. Ask the librarian to identify journals appropriate for the research topic.
2. Discuss ideas and content with classmates for inclusion in the research project.
3. Access a database and search for information appropriate for the research topic.
4. Study the class research textbook for information that would apply to the research topic.
Correct Answer: 3
The nurse should access a database and search for information appropriate for the research topic. Asking the librarian for help might not be time efficient. Discussing ideas and content with classmates is not the most appropriate approach. The class research textbook might not have information appropriate for the research topic.
