1. The most important initial step when developing a research study is to
a.
develop the problem statement.
b.
explore the background for the research problem.
c.
identify the research problem.
d.
state the research purpose.
ANS: C
The problem provides the basis for developing the research purpose and identifies gaps in
knowledge needed for nursing practice. The problem statement is written after the research
problem has been identified. The background for the research problem is written to identify
what is known about the research problem. The research purpose derives from the research
problem and identifies specific goals for the study.

2. A nursing researcher determines that there is little information about the use of
complementary practices in treating obesity. This represents the research
a.
