Nursing Research knowledge check #1 Exam
Questions With Correct Answers
A research problem... - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is an area of concern in which
| | | | | | | | | | | |
there is a gap in the knowledge base needed for nursing practice. In a study, the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
research problem: |
1. indicates the significance of the problem
| | | | | |
2. provides a background for the problem
| | | | | |
3. includes a problem statement
| | | |
A research purpose... - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is a clear, concise statement of the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
specific goal or focus of the study. It will include the population, the variables,
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
and often the setting of the study. A clearly stated research purpose can capture
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
the essence of a study in a single statement and is essential for directing the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
remaining steps of the research process. | | | | |
If little is known about a subject, what type of quantitative study will the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
researcher start with? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-They will start with a descriptive
| | | | | | | | | | |
or correlational study and progress to quasi-experimental or experimental studies
| | | | | | | | |
|as knowledge expands in the area.
| | | | |
What is the purpose of a descriptive study? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To identify
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and describe concepts or variables
| | | |
To identify possible relationships among variables
| | | | |
To delineate differences between or among existing groups
| | | | | | |
,What is the purpose of a correlational study? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-to examine
| | | | | | | | | | |
|the type of relationship (positive or negative) and the strength of relationship
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(weak or strong) among variables.
| | | |
What is the purpose of a quasi-experimental study? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-to
| | | | | | | | | | |

dependent or outcome variable. | | |
What is the purpose of an experimental study? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-these are
| | | | | | | | | | |
conducted in highly controlled settings, using a highly structured design to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
determine the effect of one or more independent variables on one or more
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
dependent variables. |

study?
, 4. Is the purpose of your study ethical and are your subject's rights being
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
protected?
Where do research objectives, questions, or hypotheses for a study come from? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-They are based on the problem, purpose, literature
| | | | | | | | |
review, and study framework.| | |
What's the main job of the research objectives, questions, or hypotheses for a
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
study? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-to direct the remaining steps of the study or
| | | | | | | | | | | |
research process! | |
In other words....how will we measure the variables, how will we select subjects /
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|participants, what statistics will we use, etc... | | | | | |
