Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study results m

ost likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there is less than

2. A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the lived experience of parents wh

Feedback: Qualitative studies are judged on the basis of how well they capture and convey the subjecti

Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to improve practice and, ultimatel
