32. Nurse Sara formulated the following hypothesis: “ Meditation decreases stress levels among adults”. The hypothesis can be classified as: A. Complex, directional B. Simple, directional C. Complex,non-directional D. simple,non-directional 33. Nurse Orly goes to the library to review some related literature connected to his study for the purpose of: A. To identify if problem can be replicated B. Answering the research question C. Determine statistical treatment of data research D. Gathering data about what is already known or unknown about the problem. 34. The recipients of the experimental treatment in an experimental design or the individuals to be observed in a non-experimental design are called: A. Setting B. Control group C. Treatment group D. Sample SITUATION: Kara, a nurse researcher is conducting a research on use of pet therapy in reducing chronic pain among pediatric clients 35. Kara conducted the study to 2 groups of pediatric clients experiencing chronic pain. The clients in Ward A was assigned as experimental group while those admitted in Ward B was the control group. The control group was given the usual analgesic they receive while the experimental group was subjected to pet therapy and the usual analgesic they receive. Both groups’ level of pain was assessed. The research design utilized is A. Post test only control group B. Pretest posttest control group C. Non-equivalent control group D. Quasi-experimental 36. Which is the major threat to the validity of the study? A. testing B. maturation C. mortality D. selection bias 37. Which of the following is NOT true regarding hypothesis? A. An educated guess B. a tentative guess about relationship between two variables C. a temporary answer to research question D. a general explanation of a phenomenon 38. Which of the following is a null hypothesis appropriate for Kara’s study? A. There is no significant difference between the pain felt by the pediatric clients before and after pet therapy B. There is significant difference between the pain felt by the pediatric clients before and after pet therapy C. There is association between the pain felt by the pediatric clients before and after pet therapy D. There is no association between the pain felt by the pediatric clients before and after pet therapy 39. To determine if there is significant difference between the pain before and after the treatment, which of the following statistical treatments may be used? A. Pearon r B. t-test C. ANOVA D. Mean Situation: Nurse Liam is a nurse-researcher in a university. He is conducting a study which aims to determine if there is difference in the mini-mental status exam score of geriatric clients who received an experimental drug for dementia. 40. Which is the dependent variable in the study? A. Experimental drug B. MMSE score C. Elderly D. None of the above 41. It is hypothesized that elderly who received the experimental drug will perform better on the mental status exam. The type of hypothesis formulated is A. simple, directional B. simple, non-directional C. complex, directional D. complex, non-directional 42. Which method of data collection will be utilized in this study? A. Interview B. Visual analogue scale C. Biophysiologic measures D. Screening Tool 43. The data is collected to answer the research question. The data that will be collected will be at what level of measurement? A. Nominal B. Ordinal C. Interval D. Ratio 44. Nurse Lira with the research team tested the mental status of the participants after administering the experimental drug. The team is conducting which phase of the research process? A. Conceptual B. Design and Planning C. Empirical D. Analytic SITUATION: Needlestick injury has become common among staff nurse assigned in the stroke unit. A group of nurses decided to make a retrospective study. 45. A retrospective study would involve a nurse who had a needlestick injury: A. Anytime before start of study B. During the period of the study C. Previous to the study D. No particular period 46. The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between staff education on needlestick injuries and incidence of needlestick injuries. The independent variable is: A. Staff nurses B. Needlestick injury C. Staff education D. None of the above 47. Sixty nurses consented to be subjects of the study, 30 nurses with needlestick injury and 25 nurses without needlestick injury. Staff education on needlestick injuries were employed by nurses without needlestick injuries. Which group is the control? A. Group without needlestick injury B. Group with needlestick injury C. Group with staff education on needlestick injury D. Group without staff education on needlestick injury 48. Due to some study constraints, the group decided to do a prospective study. The group should keep in mind that the study will be conducted on which of the following factors? A. At specified future time B. At a period when subjects are ready C. Before any of the subjects have developed injury D. NOTA Situation: Experiments can be done through different ways or method, the following question will fall under different types of experiments.
