ANSWER and RATIONALE:
47. ANSWER: B. Exploration – Exploratory research is
an extension of descriptive research and is more
oriented towards the discovery of relationships.
Prescription research is intended for both research
and practice. Prediction and control may contain a
prediction of casualty, and control of the occurrence
of casualty. Explanation research is a type of
research that sought after predictions that should
be tested with research.
48. ANSWER: D. Debriefing – This is the process
wherein the subjects of the research must be able to
understand what are they about the undergo. This is
the fundamental right of being informed.
49. ANSWER: B. Anonymity – This is the
fundamental right of individuals who participate in
research. Being anonymous may place the
individual respondent’s information to be free from
prejudice. Linking the information from the source
or participant is prohibited.
50. ANSWER: B. “This discussion should only be
confined within this group of people. Any
information discussed should not be told publicly.”
– Confidentiality of information means that any
information discussed in a certain period of time
should not be made available publicly.
Situation No.1 – “Knowledge and practice of
prevention of needle prick injuries of Staff Nurses in
a certain private hospital in Metro Manila”
51. ANSWER: A. This study aims to determine the
level of knowledge and practice of prevention of
needle prick injuries of Staff Nurses in a certain
private hospital. – A general objective involves the
broad concept of the study. The other options were
examples of specific objectives.
52. ANSWER: A. This study is for nursing researchers
in the future. – This is not a specific objective rather
it is a statement of who will be able to benefit from
the study.
53. ANSWER: B. Questionnaire – This is the best
data-gathering tool. A structured questionnaire can
gather precise information.
54. ANSWER: A. Limited to the hospital personnel
of a private hospital – The study is focused only on
nursing personnel. The statement includes hospital
personnel which is not specific.

between the knowledge and sociodemographic
profile of staff nurses – This is a positive statement
of a hypothesis.

comes in when using the Research perspective.
59. ANSWER: B. Formulate a problem, define
variables – A hypothesis is a scientific guess which is
similar to making inferences when it comes to the
Nursing Process perspective.
60. ANSWER: B. Plan: Theorize – The planning stage
in the nursing process involves determining
information needs for the problem
61. ANSWER: B. Talents – Research skills rather than
using the term talent is more appropriate. In
research all of the ideas must be stated in a
technical form rather than in flowery words.
62. ANSWER: C. Reveal what is the problem – This
is the purpose of introduction of a research paper.
The review of related literature would only place the
picture properly whether there is a need for further
research or not.
63. ANSWER: B. Give a graphic view of the data –
This is the functions of tables and graphs which are
important in showing the results of the study in an
organized format.

shows how to disperse a group of samples can from
the middle value. Central tendency shows how
clustered groups can be in a middle value; mode is
an example of central tendency

67. ANSWER: C. Pre-Test & Post-Test – This is not

an appropriate tool in gathering the needed data.
Since this type of research is descriptive in nature,
the other three options can be utilized.
