Question 1

A type of research where numerical data is generated and involves hypothesis testing:&#10;A) Qualitative research&#10;B) Quantitative research&#10;C) All of the above&#10;D) None are correct

Accepted Answer

Quantitative research involves the generation and analysis of numerical data and often includes hypothesis testing to examine relationships between variables.

Question 2

Qualitative research is best described as:&#10;A) Involves specific observations to general concepts&#10;B) Involves general concepts to a specific observation&#10;C) Generates hypothesis testing&#10;D) Requires statistical analysis

Accepted Answer

Qualitative research involves specific observations to general concepts, focusing on understanding phenomena through detailed, non-numerical data.

Question 3

Which of the following is a form of an identified problem in research?&#10;A) Nursing care&#10;B) Systems of administration by nurses and paramedics&#10;C) Patient care&#10;D) All are correct

Accepted Answer

All the options listed (nursing care, systems of administration by nurses and paramedics, and patient care) can be forms of identified problems in research, especially within the context of healthcare research. These areas are often the focus of studies aimed at improving outcomes, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

Question 4

These are referred as the building blocks in a theory.&#10;A) Concepts&#10;B) Propositions&#10;C) Arguments&#10;D) All are correct

Accepted Answer

Concepts are considered the building blocks in a theory because they are the fundamental elements that form the basis of theoretical frameworks, allowing for the description, explanation, and prediction of phenomena.

Question 5

These are statements that define the relationships among concepts:&#10;A) Concepts&#10;B) Propositions&#10;C) Theory&#10;D) Assumptions

Accepted Answer

Propositions are statements that define the relationships among concepts, serving as the building blocks for the development of theories.

Question 6

Represents a less-well developed system for organising phenomena:&#10;A) Conceptual framework&#10;B) Theoretical framework&#10;C) Schema&#10;D) All are correct

Accepted Answer

The answer of Represents a less-well developed system for organising...

Question 7

A variable, which can be the result of several influences or factors:&#10;A) Dependent variable&#10;B) Independent variable&#10;C) Extraneous variable&#10;D) All are correct

Accepted Answer

A dependent variable is the outcome that researchers are trying to explain or predict, which can be influenced by one or more independent variables.

Question 8

A type of sampling that utilises the random selection method:&#10;A) Non-probability&#10;B) Probability sampling&#10;C) Mixed sampling&#10;D) Universal sampling

Accepted Answer

Probability sampling utilizes the random selection method, ensuring each member of the population has a known, non-zero chance of being selected.

Question 9

A type of non-probability sampling where a researcher hand-picks cases that truly represent a given population under study:&#10;A) Purposive sampling&#10;B) Snowball sampling&#10;C) Cluster sampling&#10;D) Systematic random sampling

Accepted Answer

Purposive sampling involves the researcher selecting participants based on their judgment about who would be most beneficial or representative for the study, rather than at random. This method is used when specific types of individuals are sought out to fulfill the research criteria.

Question 10

Refers to the description of the process used or proposed to be used to implement the study and gathering of data:&#10;A) Data collection&#10;B) Gaining consent&#10;C) Information dissemination&#10;D) All are correct

Accepted Answer

Data collection refers to the process used or proposed to be used to implement the study and gather data.
