Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Rationale: Research might be expensive in many incidences but not in all cases, and cost is not recognized as a negative factor at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5, 6
Rationale 1: When formulating a research problem, significance (the potential to contribute to nursing science by enhancing client care) should be considered, along with 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.). Because 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.
Rationale 2: Confidentiality is one of the rights of the participant in research.
Rationale 3: When formulating a research problem, researchability (the problem can be subjected to scientific investigation) should be considered.
Rationale 4: Design focuses on how the research is done.
