Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Credibility is achieved to the extent that the methods engender confidence in the truth of the data and in the researchers' interpretations. Triangulation, the use of multiple sources or referents to draw conclusions about what constitutes the truth, is one approach to enhancing credibility. Reliability (a key challenge in quantitative research) refers to the accuracy and consistency of information obtained in a study. Reflexivity, the process of reflecting critically on the self and of scrutinizing personal values that could affect data collection and interpretation, is an important tool in qualitative research.

3
Rationale 1: Replication studies are rare in nursing research, but are of great value. They are often suggested in the recommendation section of research reports.

Rationale 3: Replication or partial replications studies allow beginning researchers to gain experience with the research process while being guided by a previous study.
Rationale 4: This type of study is called a partial replication study.
