The nurse is talking with a client who is participating in a nursing research project on the unit regarding wound care. The nurse determines that the client understands the goal of the research when the client states:
1. "This research will have no bearing on my care.".
2. "I will be paid to give my responses.".
3. "I will be helping to validate nursing care.".
4. "Nursing care is based solely on research.".
3. "I will be helping to validate nursing care.".
Rationale:
Improving nursing care and establishing the profession's credibility are two goals of nursing research. The research project will probably change the normal routine of the client's care. Clients do not receive pay for participating in research. Nursing care is based on intuition and the experience of the nurse as well as research.
