1. what is the primary focus of qualitative research in nursing?

a) to measure outcomes statistically
b) to explore patient experiences and perspectives
c) to establish cause - and - effect relationships

Explanation:

• Question 7: In Evidence - Based Practice (EBP), clinical expertise is crucial. It is not less important than research evidence (so A is wrong). It is not only relevant in academic settings (C is wrong) and does not contradict scientific evidence (D is wrong). Clinical expertise helps in interpreting and applying research findings in real - world practice.
• Question 8: Nursing research is related to EBP. EBP is not solely based on nursing research (B is wrong), and EBP is not a type of nursing research (D is wrong). Nursing research provides the evidence that informs EBP.
• Question 9: Qualitative research in nursing is not about statistical measurement (A is wrong) or establishing cause - and - effect relationships (C is wrong). Its primary focus is to explore patient experiences and perspectives.

Answer:

1. B. It helps to interpret and apply research findings in practice
2. C. Nursing research provides the evidence that informs EBP
3. B. To explore patient experiences and perspectives
