Reading, Understanding, and Applying Nursing Research, 7th Edition, is a textbook that teaches students to evaluate and apply research findings within clinical decision-making and patient care. The volume explains how scientific inquiry serves as the foundation for best practices in modern nursing.
The text examines every stage of the research sequence, exploring inductive and deductive reasoning alongside study design, measurement principles, and data analysis. It also clarifies distinctions among major types of nursing scholarship, contrasting primary research with quality improvement projects and evidence-based initiatives.
To support preparation for the Next Gen NCLEX, this edition introduces a focus on recognizing cues from the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. It also features increased coverage of evidence-based practice across all chapters.
