Which interpretation of this statement of findings is accurate? "Several characteristics were positively associated (p <.05) with nurses' attitudes about hospice care for terminally ill clients.
Nurses who reported having had oncology experience, having cared for a close friend or family member who had used hospice, and being satisfied with interactions with hospice caregivers were more likely to have discussed hospice care with terminally ill clients.".

Choice A rationale:

Providing all smoking adolescents in the three high schools with Program A is not a justified action based solely on the effectiveness of Program A in this study. While Program A may have shown better results than Program B in this specific context, it does not necessarily mean it's the most effective program overall. Implementing such a decision without further investigation could be premature and may not consider individual variations and preferences among adolescents.

Choice B rationale:

Investigating the effectiveness of other smoking cessation programs is the most appropriate action. While Program A showed better results in this particular study, it's essential to explore a variety of smoking cessation programs to determine the most effective and suitable options for different individuals. Research should continuously seek to improve interventions and provide evidence-based recommendations.

Choice C rationale:

Replicating the study using adolescents from across the United States may not be the best course of action at this stage. The study was conducted in the American southeast, and its findings may not be directly applicable to adolescents from different regions with potentially varying demographics and smoking behaviors. It would be more appropriate to conduct studies or meta-analyses that examine the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs on a broader scale.

Choice D rationale:

Surveying the adolescents' families to determine how many family members smoke is not directly related to the comparison of the two smoking cessation programs (Program A and Program B). While family influences can be important in smoking cessation, this action does not address the immediate need to determine the most effective program among the two options being compared.

Choice A rationale:

Review the hospital's definition of workplace violence. Rationale: This is the most appropriate action because it addresses the need to clarify what constitutes workplace violence in the hospital setting. The findings from the convenience sample study suggest that nurses and those who received peer support were more likely to report workplace violence. By reviewing and potentially refining the definition, the hospital can ensure that incidents are accurately categorized and reported.

Choice B rationale:

Repeat the study at the nurse manager's hospital. Rationale: While repeating the study at the nurse manager's hospital could provide valuable local data, it may not be the most immediate and practical response. Reviewing the hospital's definition of workplace violence should be the first step to ensure accurate reporting and addressing the issue.

Choice C rationale:

Develop a system for reporting workplace violence anonymously. Rationale: Anonymously reporting workplace violence is an important step, but it doesn't directly address the issue of clarifying the definition of workplace violence, which is the primary concern based on the study findings.

Choice D rationale:

Encourage peer support among the nursing staff to report issues. Rationale: Encouraging peer support is a positive step in creating a supportive workplace culture, but it may not be directly related to the need to review and clarify the definition of workplace violence.
