infant mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, smoking is a modifiable
risk factor. Poor nutrition is an important factor in potential infant mortality rates, but it is not

a. Designing research studiesU
b. Collecting data for other researchers
c. Identifying researchable problems
d. Seeking funding to support research studies
ANS: C
When problems are identified, research can be properly conducted. Research of health care
issues leads to evidence-based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one
factor of the research process. Data collection is another factor of research. Financial support
is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary role of the nurse in the research
process.
