Answer to Question 1

A
The researcher develops a plan to collect data that includes the method, the necessary tools, the people designated to collect the data, and any training needed. A quantitative study asks the question who, what, why, where, when, or how and attempts to describe the relationship between one variable and another. A quantitative study plan is highly structured and controlled.

Answer to Question 2

B
Refining an abstract idea by developing a hypothesis is the first step in the nursing research process. Options a, c, and d occur later in the process.
