The researcher developed a questionnaire specifically for the study. Once the study began, the researcher discovered that the questionnaire was not supplying the data necessary to answer the study question. How could the researcher have best avoided this situation?

2. Request that another nurse read the questionnaire.
3. Do a pilot study with the questionnaire.
4. Alter the questionnaire after data collection started.
