An obstetrical nurse wishes to identify whether clients’ perceptions of a high level of support from their
partner is associated with a decreased length of the second stage of labor. Which type of quantitative
research is most appropriate
1. for this research question?
A) Correlational research
B) Descriptive research
C) Quasi-experimental research
D) Experimental research
Ans: A
Feedback:
Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In this
case, the variables are perceptions of partner support and length of Stage 2 labor. There is no manipulation
of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The focus on the
relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events.
Nurse researchers have predicted that a newly created mentorship program will result in decreased
absenteeism, increased retention, and decreased attrition among a hospital’s nursing staff. Which of the
following does this predicted
2. relationship represent?
A) Hypothesis
B) Dependent variable
N
