There would be no point in comparing the technology-dependent children with children who are not technology-dependent or in trying to determine the causes of the children's problems.A descriptive study of prevalence might be helpful if it focused on the different types of dependencies,which might provide hints about community problems.However,a cross-sectional study (performed at one time)to determine other needs might be very useful as the nurse plans nursing care for the group.
