| Rationale: | |
| D | Reviewing the literature (published reports/articles) is only done in research projects |
| Rationale: | |

| A | Ethnographic approaches explore the everyday lived experience of participants |
| Rationale: | |
| B | Small sample sizes are a normal part of qualitative research design |

| 8 | You are designing a mixed methods study investigating what it was like to be a nurse in NYC during the spring 2020 of the Covid-19 pandemic. In data collection you will ask the participants two questions/prompts: one quantitative and one qualitative. Your 1st question is “On a scale of 1-10, what was your anxiety level when going to work in spring 2020?” Of the following what are possible options for the 2nd question/prompt: |
| A | How many shifts and hours per week did you normally work in spring 2020? |
| Rationale: I can ask this question because I want to see how many hours worked and if this affected the anxiety levels. | |
| B | How did your working conditions impact your life outside of work in spring 2020? |
| Rationale: | |
| C | Can you explain the greatest sources of anxiety at work during spring 2020? |
| Rationale: since I asked that question, I can follow up with the this question | |
| D | Name the clinical nursing area where you worked in spring 2020? |
| Rationale: | |

| Rationale: | |
| 10 | You are designing a quantitative research study at LIU to measure general mental health, mood, and stress levels in NUR 321. Which procedures will you take to protect the rights of your study participants: |
| A | Give the study results to the participants to approve when the research is completed |
| Rationale: | |
| B | Receive approval from LIU’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) to do the research |
