HESI Nursing Research II

HESI Nursing Research II ( 54 Questions)

Which question is formulated in a manner that is best answered through a research study rather than through other ways of knowing about the clinical subject matter?



Correct Answer: A

Choice A rationale:

This question is formulated in a manner that is best answered through a research study. It addresses a cause-and-effect relationship (raising the head of the bed) and its potential impact on an outcome (lower rates of pneumonia). Research can provide empirical evidence to establish or refute this relationship.

Choice B rationale:

The question about removing life support measures without the family's consent for clients with medically futile conditions involves ethical and legal considerations rather than a research study. It pertains to ethical principles and guidelines and may require legal and ethical analysis but may not necessarily involve empirical research.

Choice C rationale:

The question about the first action to take when discovering an unresponsive, non-breathing, and pulseless client is a clinical question that is typically addressed through evidence-based practice guidelines and clinical protocols rather than a research study.

Choice D rationale:

The question about the scope of practice for nurses pulling sheaths from femoral sites following cardiac catheterization is a practice-related question that may involve regulatory and scope of practice guidelines but does not necessarily require a research study.
