The CMS did not mandate communication, institute penalties for failure to perform medication reconciliations, or require written discharge instructions. REF: Transitional Care 2. According to Naylor’s transitional care model, which intervention has resulted in lower costs and fewer rehospitalizations in high -risk older patients? a. Coordination of post -hospital care by advanced practice nurses b. Frequent post -hospital clinic visits with a primary care provider c. Inclusion of extended family members in the outpatient plan of care d. Telephone follow up by the pharmacist to assess medication compliance ANS: A Naylor’s transitional care model provided evidence that high risk older patients who had Buttaro: Primary Care, A Collaborative Practice, 5th Ed. post - hospital care coordinated by an APN had reduced rehospitalization rates. It did not include clinic visits with a primary care provider, inclusion of extended fam ily members in the plan of care, or telephone follow up by a pharmacist. REF: Transitional Care 3. Which approaches are among those recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to improve health literacy in patients? Select all that apply. a. Empowering patients and families b.

Chapter 3: Translating Research Into Clinical Practice Test Bank Multiple Choice 1. Which is the most appropriate research design for a Level III research study? a. Epidemiological studies b. Experimental design c. Qualitative studies d. Randomized clinical trials ANS: B The experimental design is the most appropriate design for a Level III study. Epidemiological studies are appropriate for Level II studies. Qualitative designs are useful for Level I studies. Randomized clinical trials are used for Level IV studies. REF: Level III Research/Experimental Design 2. What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of translational research? a. Adoption of interventions and clinical practices into routine clinical care b. Determination of the basis of disease and various treatment options c. Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions d. Exploration of fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or behavior ANS: C Clinical research trials are concerned with determining the safety and effectiveness of interventions. Adoption of interventions and practices is part of clinical implementation. Determination of the basis of disease and treatment options is part of the pre -clinical research phase. Ex ploration of the fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or Test Bank 2 behavior is part of the basic research stage. REF: Translational Science Spectrum 3. What is the purpose of Level II research? a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables ANS: C Buttaro: Primary Care, A Collaborative Practice, 5th Ed. Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships among characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to define the characteristics of groups of patients. Level II research evaluates the nature of the relationships between variables. Level IV research is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions or treatments.
