Researchers involved in quantitative False
research commonly engage in fieldwork. Rationale: Researchers engage in fieldwork when performing
qualitative studies.
Which of the following best describes a A. Outcome being measured
dependent variable?
A. Outcome being measured Rationale: The dependent variable is the presumed effect or
B. A person's gender outcome of an independent variable (the presumed cause).
C. Presumed cause Gender typically is a categorical variable. The operations
D. Measurements performed (measurements) to be performed for data collection refer to
the operational definition of a variable
Clinical trials are an example of False
observational research in medicine.
Rationale: Clinical trials are a form of experimental research in
medicine. Observational research is nonexperimental research
in medicine.
Which of the following would be done first D. Formulating a research design
when designing and planning a quantitative
study? Rationale: The first step in designing and planning a
A. Developing intervention protocols quantitative study is formulating a research design. This is
B. Identifying the population followed by developing intervention protocols, identifying the
C. Designing the sampling plan population, and designing the sampling plan.
D. Formulating a research design
The review of literature is typically found in False
the method section of the research report.
Rationale: The review of literature is usually found in the
introduction of the research report.
A researcher would describe the limitations False
of the study in the results section of the
report. Rationale: The study limitations are typically described in the
discussion section of the report.
, Research critiques are done to evaluate the True
strengths and limitations of a study.
Rationale: Although there are a wide variety of reasons for
critiquing research, research critiques provide careful and
objective appraisals of the strengths and limitations of a study.
Which of the following would be a key C. Credibility
aspect of trustworthiness?
A. Triangulation Rationale: Credibility is a key criterion for trustworthiness.
B. Reliability Reliability and validity are key for evaluating quantitative
C. Credibility research. Triangulation is the use of multiple sources or
D. Validity referents to draw conclusions.
Blinding is used in qualitative studies. False
Rationale: Blinding is used in quantitative studies to reduce
bias that results from awareness.
The statement of purpose makes an False
argument to conduct a new study.
Rationale: The problem statement articulates the research
problem and makes an argument to conduct a new study.
The statement of purpose for a qualitative B. Suggestions for the research tradition
study would include which of the following?
A. Identification of the key study variables Rationale: The statement of purpose for a qualitative study
B. Suggestions for the research tradition would include a suggestion for the research tradition.
C. Indication of the population of interest Identification of key study variables, indications for the
D. Identification of the relationship among population of interest, and identification of the possible
variables relationships among the variables are included in the
statement of purpose for a quantitative study.
A hypothesis most commonly involves one False
or two variables.
Rationale: A hypothesis should almost always involve at least
two variables and possibly more.
Which type of theory systematically explains A. Classical
relationships among phenomena?
A. Classical Rationale: Classical theory is an abstract generalization that
B. Descriptive systematically explains relationships among phenomena.
C. Grand Descriptive theory thoroughly describes a phenomenon,
D. Middle-range based on rich observations of it. Grand theory attempts to
explain large aspects of human experiences. Middle-range
theory focuses on a specific aspect of human experience (e.g.,
stress).
Conceptual models and theories are similar True
in that both can be represented by a
schematic model. Rationale: A conceptual model and a theory can be depicted
or represented by a graphic representation or schematic
model.
Reed's Self-Transcendence Theory is an False
example of a nonnursing model used by
nurse researchers. Rationale: Reed's Self-Transcendence Theory is an example of
a middle-range theory developed by nurses.
