NURS 328 - Quiz 1 || 100% Exact Answers.
The PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) framework correct answers a
framework for asking well-worded questions and searching for evidence
deductive reasoning correct answers reasoning involves beginning with a theory, developing
hypotheses from that theory, and then collecting and analyzing data to test those hypotheses. This
type of reasoning goes from general to specific
Inductive reasoning correct answers involves beginning with a set of empirical observations,
seeking patterns in those observations, and then theorizing about those patterns. This type of
reasoning goes from specific to general.
Epistemology correct answers the philosophy of the nature of knowledge, or how we know what
we know.
Ontology correct answers the philosophy of the nature of reality or being
Paradigm correct answers describes a particular way of looking at things that encompasses both
philosophical assumptions and the approach taken to guide an inquiry
Quantitative research correct answers research conducted to investigate questions to be answered
using a rigorous design involving measurement and quantification
Qualitative research correct answers the research conducted in a holistic and in-depth manner to
investigate phenomena using a flexible design involving narrative/non-numeric data such as
interviews or focus groups
quantitative descriptive terms correct answers objective, variables, positivism, realism,
empiricism, one truth
,Qualitative descriptive terms correct answers subjective, phenomena, constructivism, relativism,
naturalism, multiple truths
Quantitative approach correct answers based on positivism, experimental, statistical,
ontologically = one truth, one reality
Qualitative approach correct answers based on interpretivism and constructivism, process and
meaning,
ontologically = more than one truth, multiple truths
Hypothesis correct answers A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
mixed methods research correct answers uses both quantitative and qualitative techniques, in an
effort to build convincing claims about the relationships between attributes and outcomes
phenomena correct answers observable facts; subjects of scientific investigation
statistical data correct answers quantitative information obtained from government agencies,
businesses, research studies, and other entities that collect data for their own or others' use
Textual data correct answers Documents and/or images which have become recorded without the
intervention of a researcher (e.g. through an interview).
Themes correct answers Overarching ideas or driving premises of a work.
Variables correct answers factors that can change in an experiment
dependent variable correct answers The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response
to manipulations of the independent variable.
, independent variable correct answers The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable
whose effect is being studied.
quantitative and qualitative studies correct answers - are different
- the best method is one suited to answering the specific research question.
- one type of study is not better than the other.
Qualitative studies correct answers tend to involve exploration of concepts or phenomena
Quantitative studies correct answers tend to involve examination of dependent and independent
variables that are often expressed in a predictive relationship that is called a hypotheses.
the data in qualitative studies correct answers often expressed as textual or narrative. the results
are sometimes expressed using themes
data in quantitative studies correct answers often numerical or statistical.
mixed methods research studies correct answers involves collecting and analyzing both
qualitative and quantitative data to answer the research questions
ANSWER: IV (Independent variable)
The question concerns the effect of the diagnosis (the influence or cause) on teenagers' emotional
well-being (the outcome or effect). correct answers What effect does a cancer diagnosis have on
a teenager's emotional well-being?
ANSWER: DV (Dependent variable)
The question concerns the effect of the relaxation intervention (the cause or influence) on
surgical patients' pain levels (the outcome or effect). correct answers 2. Among patients
undergoing abdominal surgery, does a relaxation intervention reduce pain levels?
