his week's graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs). • CO 2: Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies. (POs 4 & 8) • CO 4: Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and significance related to evidence-based practice. (POs 4 & 8) This week we learned how research designs are different and help us to objectively study nursing problems; the key is to decide which type of research and design will serve the purpose or intent to find a solution. After completing Week 4 readings and lesson, answer the following: • Reflect on your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that helped you understand how they are different. • Chose one category of study design that you found interesting and describe; include how you believe it can help study nursing problems.
