Feedback:
Sampling is the process of selecting elements from a population, which is an entire aggregate of cases. An element is the basic unit of a populationusually humans in nursing research. Eligibility criteria (including both inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria) are used to define population characteristics. Researchers usually sample from an accessible population; a broader target population is the group to which they would like to generalize their results.
