NRNP 6531 WEEK 10 KNOWLEDGE CHECK
FINAL PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ applied research. Answer: scientific investigations conducted to
generate knowledge that will directly influence clinical practice
◉ control. Answer: imposing rules by the researcher to decrease the
possibility of error and increase the probability that the study's
findings are an accurate perception of reality
◉ sampling. Answer: process of selecting groups of people, events,
behaviors, or other elements that are representative of the
population being studied
◉ basic research. Answer: scientific investigations for the pursuit of
knowledge for knowledge-sake or for the pleasure of learning
◉ generalization. Answer: extension of the implications of the
findings from the sample that was studied to the larger population
◉ pilot study. Answer: smaller version of a proposed study
conducted to develop and/or refine the methodology, such as the
,treatment or intervention, measurement instruments, or data
collection process to be used in the larger study
◉ purpose. Answer: the specific goal or purpose of a study that
directs the remaining steps of the research process
◉ theoretical limitations. Answer: the limitations that restrict the
abstract generalizations of the findings and are reflected in the study
framework and the conceptual and operational definitions of the
variables
◉ quasi-experimental research. Answer: type of quantitative
research that is conducted to examine causal relationships or to
determine the effect of an independent variable on the dependent
variable but lacks the control of an experimental study
◉ descriptive research. Answer: type of quantitative research that
involves the exploration and description of phenomena in real-life
situations
◉ methodological limitations. Answer: limitations, such as small
sample size, or poor measurement methods that can decrease the
credibility of the findings and restrict the population to which the
findings can be generalized.
, ◉ framework. Answer: the abstract, theoretical basis for a study that
enables the researcher to link the findings to nursing's body of
knowledge
◉ design. Answer: blueprint for the conduct of a study that
maximizes control over factors that could interfere with the study's
desired outcome
◉ correlational research. Answer: type of quantitative research that
involves the systematic investigation of relationships between or
among variables.
◉ interpretation of research findings. Answer: step in the research
process that identifies the gap in nursing knowledge needed for
practice and indicates an area for further research
◉ assumptions. Answer: statements that are taken for granted or
are considered true even though they have not been scientifically
tested.
◉ human rights. Answer: claims and demands that have been
justified in the eyes of an individual or the consensus of a group of
individuals and are protected in research
