Question 1 pts
A Family Nurse Practitioner believes that he has developed an intervention
that can accelerate weight loss in adults with Type II diabetes when
administered with a healthy diet. He recruits 25 participants from a local
church. He obtains each participant’s weight prior to beginning the
intervention (of a walking program alternating with resistance training). After
a month of the treatment, all of the participants are weighed again. Which
statistical test should the researcher select to determine the effect of his
intervention on weight loss?
Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r)
Paired t-test
Independent samples t-test

, Question 2 pts
A nurse in a cardiovascular ICU developed an intervention that she believes
can reduce patient time on the ventilator post-operatively. She recruits
study participants from the offices of cardiovascular surgeons. She
randomizes the participants to two groups, a treatment group and a control
group. She provides a novel teaching intervention along with a spirometer to
each participant in the treatment group one week prior to their surgery.
Participants in the control group received customary care. After each
participant’s surgery, the researcher records the number of hours that they
are on the ventilator post-operatively. Which statistical test should she
select to determine the effects of her intervention on time spent on
ventilator post-operatively?
Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r)
Paired t-test
Independent samples t-test

Question 3
A nurse is reading a journal article on the effects of patient incivility on
nursing burn-out. The results of the study were r = 0.50, p = .04 (with alpha
set at .05). The nurse correctly summarizes that:
there is no relationship between patient incivility and nursing burn-out.
there is a weak relationship between patient incivility and nursing burn-out.
there is a moderate relationship between patient incivility and nursing burn-
out.
