Which of the following is a potential disadvantage of using software for qualitative research? Answer Correct Answer: Research may be molded to fit the software program. Answer Feedback: Rationale: Research may be molded to fit the software program. This can result in data that are forced into patterns provided by the software program, possibly altering the final results. Computer capabilities may also tempt researchers to use large populations, thus sacrificing in-depth study for breadth. Separate data input is not required.

In order to facilitate the collection of relevant data, she can eliminate a barrier to the collection of data by the point of care staff through which of the following? Answer Correct Answer: Providing workshops and preceptors to guide the nurses Answer Feedback: Rationale: Once nurses have been taught the research process and its usefulness in improving patient care, resistance may diminish. With any relevant workshop or seminar, nurses can learn the tools to enhance clinical practice through the collection and analysis of data.

Answer Correct Answer: Self-care Answer Feedback: Rationale: Consumers have access to a wide-range of resources that have the potential for informing their health care decisions and thus promoting a greater responsibility for self-care. Although there is agreement that the Internet is a boon for consumers because they have easier access to information, clinicians are also concerned that the poor quality of some information on the Web has the potential to undermine informed decision-making. Software upgrades are not part of personal responsibility and caring for oneself.

Which of the following supports this statement? Answer Correct Answer: The feedback should be used to identify what worked and what did not. Plans that looked good before a disaster may not look so good after one. Answer Feedback: Rationale: Feedback collected after disasters (or mock disasters) is key to the design and implementation of a better continuity plan for use in future disasters. The feedback should be used to identify what worked and what did not. Plans that looked good before a disaster may not look so good after one.
