The nurse researcher will be conducting a study in a nursing home. What is the most likely category of this research?
 
  1. It is a laboratory study.
  2. It is a comparison study.
  3. It is a field study.
  4. It is a simulation study.

Question 2

The nursing research student is reviewing study designs prior to beginning a class assignment. Which statement, made by this study, reflects poor understanding of these designs?
 
  1. I think the one-shot case study design will be best for my study because it controls threats to internal validity.
  2. The one-group pretest-posttest design might be quicker to complete, but it is a weak design.
  3. If I choose a time-series design, I should plan numerous measurements of my dependent variable to strengthen validity.
  4. If I can randomly assign study subjects to my groups, I can use the pretest-posttest control group design.
