1) Some nursing students have been given an assignment to develop a research question from a 1)
quantitative approach. Which of the following would be an example of a quantitative research
question in the clinical area?
A) Does expression of client spirituality affect recovery time?
B) What dressing selections work best for a wound dehiscence?
C) How do siblings react to a new baby of a second marriage after divorce of their parents?
D) What support do terminal cancer clients find least beneficial in hospice care?

systematic, logical steps to collect information under controlled conditions. The
information is analyzed using statistical procedures. Qualitative research most
often explores the subjective experiences of human beings, which would be
exemplified in options A, C, and D.

Explanation: A) Phenomenology is research that investigates people's life experiences and how
they interpret those experiences. Using prior coping skills (life experiences) and
applying them to current situations in order to interpret the process of Alzheimer's
disease is an example of phenomenology. Grounded theory is research to
understand social structures and social processes. Ethnography is research that
provides a framework to focus on the culture of a group of people. Substantive
dimension is not a research tradition, rather a way to critique research reports.

3) A nurse educator has asked the question, "Do students who form study groups fare better on the 3)
NCLEX® exam when compared to their peers who study independently?" An example of a
dependent variable would be which of the following?

B) Time between graduation and sitting for the NCLEX®
C) NCLEX® scores of both groups
D) Number of students in a study group
Answer: C

Explanation: A) The dependent variable is the behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the
researcher wishes to explain or predict. The independent variable is the presumed
cause of or influence on the dependent variable. In this situation, the prediction is
the success on NCLEX®. All the other options would be examples of independent
variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent
variable.
