The researcher’s paradigm is most likely which of the following?A.Positivism B.Determinism C.Empiricism D.ConstructivismAs this study involves gathering subjective, non-measurable data, the researcher’s paradigm is most likely constructivism. Positivism is not likely, as there is no emphasis on an objective, orderly reality. Determinism, which refers to the belief that phenomena result from prior causes and are not haphazard, is not pertinent here. Although the research will involve empiricism, or gathering information using the senses, this is not the primary paradigm.As this study involves gathering subjective, non-measurable data, the researcher’s paradigm is most likely constructivism.

A.Conduct research to better understand the context of nursing practice B.Establish a solid base of evidence for practice through disciplined research C.Document the role nursing serves in society D.Establish research prioritiesNurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their practice on evidence from research. Evidence-based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions and typically comes from research conducted by nurses and other healthcare professionals. All of the other answers are possible goals for the nursing profession, but none is as important as establishing evidence for practice.Nurses are increasingly expected to understand and undertake research and to base their practice on evidence from research.

A.Involves deductive processes B.Attempts to control the research context to better understand the phenomenon being studied C.Involves gathering narrative, subjective materials D.Focuses on numeric informationIn the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather a construction of human minds—and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constructions of reality. In the positivist paradigm, it is assumed that there is an objective reality and that natural phenomena are regular and orderly. Constructivist researchers emphasize understanding human experience as it is lived through the collection and analysis of subjective, narrative materials using flexible procedures; this paradigm is associated with qualitative research. The other answers are truer of positivist, quantitative research.In the constructivist paradigm, it is assumed that reality is not a fixed entity but is rather a construction of human minds—and thus “truth” is a composite of multiple constructions of reality.
