You are an undergraduate research assistant working on a post-surgical wound care
research study. You and two other research assistants are responsible for calling
patients who were recently discharged from the hospital and interviewing them over
the phone about their wound care. The three of you document patient responses in a
database. As you are reviewing the database one day, you notice that five patients do
not have a phone number listed. However, all five of these patients have complete
documentation from the interview questions. You suspect that this documentation was
fabricated, because it would not be possible to interview patients over the phone
when there was no phone number listed. You are not sure which research assistant
was responsible for the suspicious documentation. What would you do?
a. While at work, sit close to the other two research assistants so that you can monitor
, their activities and find out which assistant fabricated the data.
b. Call the hospital to request phone numbers for the five patients so that you can call
the patients to confirm whether the interviews had been done.
c. Talk to the primary investigator/researcher in private and discuss what you found
