Week 3 Quiz

Question 1

The purpose of the study was to:

Evaluate the effectiveness of a process for providing patient report

Evaluate the effectiveness of a process for decreasing medication errors

Test the effectiveness of the “Patient Views on Nursing Care” survey

Test the effectiveness of the “Nursing Assessment of Shift Report” survey

Question 2

The research design for the study was:

Correlational

Ethnographic

Experimental

Quasi-experimental

Question 3

The literature review indicated there were gaps in knowledge:

About the effectiveness of using the “Patient Views on Nursing Care” survey with acute inpatients.

About quantitative patient and nurse outcomes related to patient report

About the usefulness of bedside report in promoting nurse staff retention

About the family perception of bedside reporting

Question 4

The Patient Views on Nursing Care survey was reported to have a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96. This means that the survey tool:

Has face validity

Has content validity

Needs to be used carefully since the value is not 1.00

Provides consistent results with repeated use

Question 5

The nursing sample were recruited by:

E-mail and flyers

Employee number

Personal invitation

Supervisor recommendation

Question 6

The type of sample selection used in the study was:

Convenience

Purposive

Random

Snowball

Question 7

The significant results of the Patient Views on Nursing Care survey over the three administration times were:

Help me feel comfortable

Listen carefully without interrupting

Made sure I knew who my nurse was

Tell about plans for discharge

Question 8

Significant results can be identified in Table 1, “Patient Views on Nursing Care Survey”, by a p value of:

>1.00

<1.00

0.50

Question 9

The results of the data collection indicated:

The fall rate decreased during the 13 months while the study was being conducted.

The medication error rate increased after the first three months of implementing the change.

The overtime rate for the nursing staff increased significantly after the implementation of the new process.

There was no change in any of the patient safety outcome measures during the study period.

Question 10

Table 3, “Nurse Perceptions of the Report Format”, provide which of the following results?

Combined mean values for the three survey times

Mean values for each of the three survey times

Only non-significant items from the survey

Only significant items from the survey

Question 11

Limitations of the study included

Changing the way overtime was calculated during the study

Lack of education on the change in the reporting process

Only one acute care unit was used for the study

Use of a convenience sample

Question 12

Recommendations for future research are to:

Conduct a pilot study to be sure the survey instruments can be answered by the patients

Identify change champions and nursing staff who support the blended bedside report

Include one or more items in both the patient and nurse surveys that would help quantify any inconsistencies in implementation of the practice change

Repeat the study using different survey tools

Question 13

The statistical test used to analyze the differences among the three groups of responses was:

ANOVA

Means and standard deviation

Pearson Correlation

T-Test

Question 14

The authors indicated the findings of the practice change evaluation:

Are relevant to clinical practice

Are not relevant to clinical practice

Need additional study before relevance to clinical practice can be determined

Need to include all members of the health care in order to be relevant to clinical practice

Question 15

The authors recommend outcome measures need to be monitored for at least: __________months to determine if the change in practice has been sustained.
