A group of nurses are studying the effects of protein ingestion on wound healing. After several weeks, the study question was changed to include measuring the degree of wound healing according to different types of protein ingested
This change in the study question would be included in which of the following phases of a research study? 1. Qualitative research phase 1
2. Qualitative research phase 2
3. Quantitative research phase 1
4. Quantitative research phase 3
Qualitative research phase 1
Rationale: In phase 1 of a qualitative research study, the study begins with a broad research question that may be further refined after the study is under way, which is what the nurses did in the study of protein ingestion and wound healing. Phase 2 of a qualitative research study does not include the revision of the research question. The revision of the research question after the study begins is not a part of any phase within a quantitative research study.

A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic emphysema and is receiving oxygen therapy at 6 L/min via nasal cannula. The following clinical data are available:
Arterial Blood Gases Vital Signs pH = 7.28 Pulse rate = 96 beats/min PaO2 = 85 mm Hg Blood pressure = 135/45 PaCO2 = 55 mm Hg Respiratory rate = 6 breaths/min HCO3- = 26 mEq/L O2 saturation = 88% Which action should the nurse take first? a. Notify the Rapid Response Team and provide ventilation support. b. Change the nasal cannula to a mask and reassess in 10 minutes. c. Place the client in Fowler's position if he or she is able to tolerate it. d. Decrease the flow rate of oxygen to 2 to 4 L/min, and reassess.
A nurse is caring for a client who is being treated for several intractable wounds. The client has been put on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). How could the nurse avoid oxygen toxicity for this client?
A) By delivering 100% oxygen at two times normal atmospheric pressure B) By reducing the treatment time from 90 minutes to 30 minutes C) By providing brief periods of breathing room air D) By performing the therapy once every 2 weeks
The student nurse is learning how to care for patients who had thoracic surgery following a diagnosis of lung cancer. The intensive care unit nurse is assessing the student's understanding
Which statements by the student indicate the need for further education? Select all that apply. 1. "I should assess the patient's respiratory system at least every four hours." 2. "I really shouldn't even offer narcotic pain medications to this patient because it will result in severe respiratory depression." 3. "If there are items that the patient needs frequently, I should keep them across the hospital room. This will ensure that the patient will get better faster." 4. "The patient's head of bed should be maintained between 15 and 30 degrees." 5. "The area between the visceral and parietal pleura must be filled with positive pressure to work appropriately, and this can be accomplished with a functioning chest tube."
When providing care to a child requiring temperature measurement, nurses use evidence-based practice whenever they:
a. Understand that a rectal temperature is the most accurate method in a child. b. Understand that a rectal temperature is the least accurate method in a child. c. Understand that an axillary temperature is the most accurate method in a child. d. Understand that adding 1ºC to an axillary temperature in a child is as accurate as a rectal temperature.
