Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Significance deals with whether the research problem has the potential to contribute to nursing science by enhancing nursing care.
Rationale 2: Researchability means that the problem can be subjected to scientific investigation. If a significant problem produces ambiguity or uncertainty in clinical situations, it may not be appropriate to research.
Rationale 3: Confidentiality is one of the research participant's rights.
Rationale 4: Quantitative research problems address relationships between independent and dependent variables.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: Significance; Researchability; Feasibility; Interest to the researcher
Rationale : Polit and Beck suggest that several criteria be used when formulating a research problem: significance (the potential to contribute to nursing science by enhancing client care); researchability (the problem can be subjected to scientific investigation); and feasibility (the availability of time as well as material and human resources, space, money, etc.). Since researchers spend much time and energy while conducting a research project, it would also be important that they have genuine interest in the project. Confidentiality is one of the rights of the participant in research, and design focuses on how the research is done.
