Answer to Question 2
B
Descriptive survey designs aim to answer questions pertaining to relationships among variables.
Experimental research asks why one variable causes a predictable change in another variable. In this type of research, variables are tightly controlled and the aim is to prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
Scientific nursing research investigates nursing phenomena that can be precisely measured and quantified, such as body temperature changes, pain severity, and rates of wound healing.
Exploratory descriptive designs provide in-depth descriptions of populations or variables not previously studied. No relationships among variables are established, although the results might indicate that relationships ought to be studied in subsequent research.
