NURS 329 COMPREHENSIVE SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ types of true experimental designs. Answer: the pretest-posttest
control group design; the posttest-only control group design, Solomon 4-
group, Factorial, Repeated measures
◉ quasi-experimental design. Answer: An experiment that does not
require random assignment to conditions, but can manipulate IV,
Tx/Control,
◉ Types of Quasi-Experimental Designs. Answer: nonequivalent pre-
test posttest design, nonequivalent posttest only
◉ methods to enhance equivalence if no random assignment?. Answer: -
appropriate inclusion/exclusion criteria
-matching
-statistical control (ANCOVA)
-stat comparison of demographic characteristics/pertinent variables to
determine if differences between groups exist at outset
, ◉ non experimental design definition. Answer: describe relationships
among variables of ONE group of subjects; random assignment NOT
APPLICABLE
◉ Types of non-experimental research. Answer: ex post
facto/retrospective
descriptive correlational
time series design
survey research
outcomes research
secondary analysis, meta analysis, epidemiological, historical research
◉ nonparametric testing data level. Answer: nominal/ordinal
◉ chi square. Answer: Non parametric test used when you have nominal
data; used to determine whether two distributions differ significantly;
tests hypothesis about proportion of cases falling into various categories;
computed by summing differences between observed and expected
frequencies:
◉ chi square example. Answer: is there a difference between males and
females and smoking behavior?
