Description

Question 1. In qualitative research, conclusions can be stated with a predetermined degree of certainty. T/F Question 2. Which research paradigm supports generalisation of its results? -

Qualitative Quantitative Neither Both

Question 3. A significant weakness of pre-post research design is? -

Lack of reliability and validity in the measurement process Lack of intervention Lack of a true control group Lack of quantitative data

Question 4. If your clinical/review question is about testing the accuracy of a diagnostic tool in diagnosing a condition/disease. What would be the most suitable research paradigm? -

Qualitative Quantitative Both Neither

Question 5. One of the components of EBP is info from practice contexts. This refers to -

The info gained from the health professionals’ friends and families and the health professionals needing to please them The environment, geography, location/place where a health proof might be working in and its influence on how the health proof may implement EBP The info gains by patients from social media and the health proof needing to please them

Question 6. There are diff types of validity. Of these which is the most simplistic type of validity -

Criterion valid Content valid Face valid Construct valid

Question 7. Mean & median are commonly used to measure of central tendency. However, mean can only be sued when there is symmetrical distribution and median is instead used when there is skewed distribution. Why is median the preferred choice as the measure of central tendency when there is a skewed distribution? -

Median can be used for any type of data and therefore it has more applicability Median is not pulled towards the direction of trails and as such is more stable Median is pulled towards the direction of the trails and as such is more flexible Median can be used to identify variability (dispersion) of the data and hence ideally suited for a skewed distribution

Question 8. If u r measuring subject feeling of a person, the research paradigm of choice is qualitative? Y/N

Question 9. upon grad, u r working in children’s hospital which has a focus on cancer. As a health proof, u r interested in exploring how children and their fam cope with cancer. There u r interested in framing a question to find research on children and fam perspectives about coping with cancer. Which following framework is more appropriate? -

SPIDER PICO PIPOH PECOT PICo

Question 10. Quantitative research is inductive – that is it generates theory. T/F Question 11. When searching for research evidence, limiting to full text articles is standard practice and should be recommended as it is time and resource efficient. T/F? Question 12. A researcher in ADL was interested investing the effect of sedentary lifestyle on the development of diabetes in peoples of the age of 50. Which research paradigm is best suited? -

Qual Quant Both

Question 13. What is NOT a limitation of EBP? -

Limited time and resources Abundance of consistent scientific evidence Time to develop new skills All are correct

Question 14. Why are opinions not considered to be good sources of evidence? -

It is essentially one person’s viewpoint Can be subjective and therefore biased Is not underpinned by any methods or data All are correct

Question 15. which of the following is NOT a step in EBP process? -

Apply evidence Agree with evidence Ask an answerable clinical question Appraise the evidence Acquire the evidence

Question 16. One of the purposes of EBP is to ensure every patient gets a cookbook approach to their management as means of ensuring safe and quality health care practices. T/F? Question 17. What is the purpose of random allocation of subjects into the control group and intervention group? -

Can replicate similar research conducted elsewhere Can help with reliability and validity Controls unmeasured confounding

-

Can assist with triple blinding Cost efficient

Question 18. What is the critical difference between quasi-experimental and controlled clinical trial? -

There are two groups of participants 2 groups of participants are compared at 2 different time periods Pre-post measures are collected for both (control and intervention) groups of participants Tests effects of an intervention

Question 19. Health care in Aus. faces a number of challenges. Which of the following is NOT one of those challenges? -

Increasing co-morbidities Abundance of health care professionals Increasing pressure on health care resources An ageing population

Question 20. when searching for EB info, you should not use library search engine because -

It is not freely available outside UNISA It does not include peer reviewed articles It only searches for Australian articles It cannot replicate your search All are correct

Question 21. What are the components of EBP? -

Patients perspective, expert opinion, research evidence and clinical expertise Expert option, research evidence, qualitative research and clinical trails Research evidence, clinical expertise, patient values and info from practice contexts Clinical expertise, research evidence, practise contexts and funders perspectives

Question 22. In which research paradigm are samples purposefully selected as they have a story to tell? -

Qual Quant Both

Question 23. Truncation symbols are… -

Symbols used as limits when undertaken searching Symbols used to fill unknown or ambiguous section of a word (e.g. spelling variations) Symbols that are used to combine keywords Symbols that are used to substitute for letters at end of word

Question 24. Which of the following research design does NOT allow for within AND between group comparisons? -

Quasi-experimental Pre-post Randomised controlled trail Controlled clinical trail

Question 25. Your lecturer is not a fan of pie charts. His dislike of pie charts is due to -

They are simple and easy to understand Becomes difficult to interpret when there is too much data Commonly used when comparing slices of data They are colourful and can be represented as a picture Often used by politicians

Question 26. Upon graduation, u have started working in a busy practice. The owner of the practice wants to collect patient satisfaction data as a way of getter their feedback on the quality of care they receive. If patient satisfaction was to measure, what type of data will patient satisfaction be? -

Categorical nominal Numerical discrete All are correct Categorical ordinal Numerical continuous

Question 27. Which of the following research designs does NOT involve data collection at multiple time periods? -

Quasi-experimental Longitudinal cohort Stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial Cross sectional

Which of the following is not an element of health care quality? -

Safety Efficiency Access Timeliness

Question 29. -

Cross sectional Pre-post Randomised controlled trail Controlled trail Controlled clinical trail Longitudinal trail

Question 30. A background question is usually asked because of the need to make a clinical decision about a specific patient. T/F...
