SCRIPT 2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ Three Types of Research Setting. Answer: Natural Setting-
uncontrolled, real- life situations or environment
Partially Controlled- an environment that the research has
manipulated or modified in some way
Highly Controlled- an artificially constructed environment
developed for the sole purpose of conducting research
◉ Process. Answer: Includes a purpose, a series of actions, and a
goal
It provides direction for the implementatin of a series of actions to
achieve an identified goal
◉ Problem-Solving Process. Answer: involves the systematic
identification of a problem, difficulty or dilemma; determination of
goals related to the problem, identification of possible approaches or
solutions to achieve those goals (planning), implementation of
selected approaches, and evaluation of goal achievement
, ◉ What kind of process is the nursing process?. Answer: It's a subset
of the problem-solving process
◉ Quantitative Research Process. Answer: Involves conceptualizing
a research project, planning and implmenting that project, and
communicatingthe findings
◉ Steps of the Quantitative Research Process
x13. Answer: See next 13 Notecards
◉ 1. Research Problem and Purpose. Answer: Research Problem- is
an area of concern in which there is a gap in the knowledge needed
for nursing practice
Research Purpose- generated from the problem and identifies the
specific focus or goal of the study
(Problem Statement - usually identifies an area of concern for a
