MHA 705 LATEST 2026 EVALUATION EXAM QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔How do researchers use key terms (MeSH headings)? - ✔✔Researchers use key
terms (MeSH headings) to identify
journal articles related to their topic.
✔✔Why would a researcher use bibliographic software? - ✔✔A researcher might use
bibliographic software because
it saves time for the researcher by automatically converting the bibliographic information
to the particular style
required by a professor or journal.
✔✔Why should studies with contradictory results be included in the review of the
literature? - ✔✔Studies with contradictory results should be included in
the review of the literature because readers could perceive the absence of contradictory
studies as evidence of
bias. Evidence of bias detracts from the credibility of the
literature review.
✔✔In the review of the literature, what information about key studies should readers
expect? - ✔✔In the review of the literature, readers should expect
information about the study's design, time frame,
method, sample, response rate, statistical techniques,
and findings.
✔✔What determines a researcher's choice of a research design? - ✔✔The purpose of
the study determines a researcher's
choice of a research design.
✔✔Which research design would a researcher use to investigate the relationship
between a supervisor's level of stress and the number of his or her subordinates? -
✔✔A researcher would use correlational research to investigate the relationship
between a supervisor's level of
stress and the number of his or her subordinates.
✔✔What would be a direct relationship between the supervisor's level of stress and the
number of his or her subordinates? - ✔✔An example of a direct relationship would be
the higher
the number of subordinates managed by the supervisor,
the higher the level of the supervisor's stress.
✔✔What is the key characteristic of experimental research? - ✔✔The key characteristic
of experimental research is
, control.
✔✔How does quasi-experimental research differ from experimental research? -
✔✔Quasi-experimental (for example, causal-comparative
research) lacks random assignment to a group and
manipulation of treatment.
✔✔How do independent variables and dependent variables differ? - ✔✔The
independent variable causes an effect in the dependent variable.
✔✔In a double-blind study, who knows which subjects are in the study group and which
subjects are in the control group? - ✔✔In a double-blind study, administrative assistants
or
researchers removed from the study know which subjects are in the study group.
Neither the participants
nor the researchers directly conducting the study know
which subjects are in the study control.
✔✔Why would a researcher choose a longitudinal study rather than a cross-sectional
study? - ✔✔A longitudinal design is more credible than a cross-sectional study because
it eliminates the possibility that the
study occurred at some unrepresentative point in time.
For an important topic, such as cancer, the investment of
time is justifiable.
✔✔Which research method uses self-report data? - ✔✔A survey uses self-report data.
✔✔What type of question is question 1? (Previous question) - ✔✔Question 1 is a written
question on an interview guide or
a query on a questionnaire.
✔✔Why would researchers choose to conduct a structured interview using an interview
guide? - ✔✔A researcher may choose a structured interview because
it is easier to quantify, tabulate, and analyze than anunstructured interview. An interview
guide provides
the list of questions so all the researchers ask the same
questions.
✔✔If researchers wanted to investigate the impact of changes in Medicare
reimbursement on a region's healthcare, which method would they choose? - ✔✔If
researchers wanted to investigate the impact of
changes in Medicare reimbursement on a region's
healthcare, they would most likely choose to use the
case study method.
