of her study would be:Qualitative
correlational
descriptive
Question 2 10/10 pts
Jane wanted to know the relationship between the level of anxiety
experienced during final exams and the exam performance among the
level 4 student nurses. The type of research design utilized is:
ental
quasi-experimental
etrosp
correlational
Rationale: Correlational design is used to examine relationships
among variables. Unit Two, p. 207
Question 3 10/10 pts
‘Amy randomly groups research participants into two groups and tests the
effects of yoga on stress levels. This study uses this type of research
designexperimental
Rationale: Experimental designs are used to determine evidence
of causation Unit Two, p. 231
Question 4 10/10 pts
Association is the same as causality.
False
Rationale: Causality is not the same as association. page 218
Question 5 10/10 pts
This is another type of quantitative research design wherein the
researcher wanted to know about the cause and effect relationship
between variables, where the cause is being manipulated and
respondents are chosen by choice not by chance.quasi-experimental
true experim
correlational
Rationale: quasi-experimental designs are “like” experimental
designs but lack one of the three criteria, In this example, the
random assignment of participants in missing. Unit Two, p. 238
Question 6 10/10 pts
Bob wanted to conduct research that will delve into knowing the strength
of the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and the
academic performance of nursing students during the final year of nursing
school. The type of research design most suited towards his study would
be:
correlational
experimental
descriptive
Rationale: Correlational design is used to examine relationships
among variables. Unit Two, p. 207Question 7 10/10 pts
Fran conducts a study that will characterize the frequency of staff
resignations between the north and south affiliated hospitals within a
hospital system. What's the type of research design to be used in her
study?
experimental
descriptive
Rationale: Rationale: descriptive design is used in order to
measure the incidence or prevalence of a phenomenon of interest.
Unit Two, p. 200
Question 8 10/10 pts
Members of the health team introduce a new admission system and wish
to study the efficiency of its implementation as compared to the previous
admission system which is still being practiced in other departments. In
this study, it is not feasible to conduct randomization. What type of
research design is used?
experimental
quasi-experimentalpredictive - correlational
Rationale: quasi-experimental designs are “like” experimental
designs but lack one of the three criteria, In this example, the
random assignment of participants in missing. Unit Two, p. 238
Question 9 10/10 pts
A quantitative research paper is entitled as “Nursing Model of Care
Utilized by Selected Hospitals and its Association with the Performance of
Nurses in their Area of Assignment”. What is the research design of this
study?
Descriptive
Experiment
Correlational
Rationale: Correlational design is used to examine relationships or
associations among variables. Unit Two, p. 207
Question 10 10/10 pts
