Question

The nurse remembers the three basic questions that are universal for any type of research study. Critique appraisal tools differ slightly in design and layout, but each tool asks these same questions of the research study: (1) Is it worth looking at the results of this study, and can I trust the results (reliability)? (2) What are the results? (3) Are the results relevant for the patient? "Design and layout differ, and reliability measures differ" and "Design, layout, and reliability are similar but relevancy differs" are incorrect because each critical appraisal tool asks the same questions of the research study. "Design, layout, and reliability differ but trust worthiness is the same" is incorrect because trustworthiness has nothing to do with appraising research studies.
