A clinical nurse at a large urban hospital has decided to conduct a descriptive qualitative study related to staff nurses' perceptions of the causes of various types of violence against nurses in their facility
As part of his research design, he hosts a series of focus groups with staff nurses during each of three shifts. What is considered the main advantage of using a focus group strategy as opposed to one-on-one interviews for data collection? a. Individuals who are alike on some characteristic are more likely to feel safer or less anxious expressing their views, especially with difficult experiences, when participating in a focus group rather than in a one-on-one interview. b. Focus groups allow the researcher to gather a lot of information in a short time. c. Focus groups require less planning than one-on-one interviews do, because interviewers should talk little and listen more. d. It is more efficient and less expensive to transcribe one interview with several participants rather than to transcribe several individual interviews.
Your neighbors' baby girl has just been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and they have been told that this is an autosomal recessive disorder. They have one child who does not have cys-tic fibrosis
They ask you if their older child, a boy, could have children with cystic fibrosis. What is your best response? A. "Because CF is an autosomal recessive disorder and your older child does not have the disease himself, his children would only be affected if he had children with a woman who has CF." B. "Because he is a boy and it is your daughter who has CF, he has no risk of passing the problem on to his children." C. "Because you and your husband are carriers, your son may or may not be a carrier also. If he is a carrier and his wife is also a carrier, it is possible for them to have a child with CF." D. "Because your son may have one CF gene, it is possible for him to father a child with CF. When he is older, he can find out his CF gene status and risk for passing on the disorder."
