Question 4A nurse is conducting her master’s thesis research in the unit in which she works as a staff nurse. The focus of her thesis is burned children’s pain, with a child life specialist assisting the child versus without. She is providing child life specialist presence every other day at the mid-morning dressing change. For obvious reasons, she wants to keep everything else consistent for the four contiguous days of data collection. On the second day of four, with the child life specialist present, one child demonstrates poor pain control. The nurse researcher would ordinarily advocate for more pain medication for this child, but if she does, she will not be able to compare the data with that of the previous day. What is this an example of?

a.Serendipity

b.Subject as object

c.Role conflict

d.Passive resistance

a.Separate from the master list of identifiers and codes

b.Only in a locked box in a safe

c.Anywhere the researcher decides to store it that has reasonable security

d.Only in a password-protected computer, located in a private office or residence

a.A plug-in word processor

b.A form with large margins, or a column for comments, or both

c.A pencil with an eraser

d.A form with prelabeled columns and rows

Question 7Planning as a step in the quantitative research process ends when the data collection has begun. Which is the true statement about planning in the qualitative research process?

a.Since sample size is not usually decided upon ahead of time, there is no practical reward to planning the qualitative research study ahead of time.

b.There is no planning in the qualitative research process; it all emanates from the data collected.

c.Everything about a qualitative study is planned ahead of time, except for analysis of the data.

d.The researcher may adapt strategies for data collection or analysis well into the study.

Question 8What is the nursing research institute abbreviated as at the National Institutes of Health?

Question 9What does NIH stand for?

a.National Institutes of Health

b.National Institutes of Healthy-Living
