The nurse researcher is evaluating study results and believes that data support one part of the two-part study hypothesis but do not support the other part. What should the researcher do at this point?
1. Report the hypothesis as supported.
2. Revise the hypothesis from the two-part statement to two separate statements.
3. Report the hypothesis as not supported.
4. Report the hypothesis as partially supported.
3
Rationale 1: Because half of the hypothesis is not supported, the entire hypothesis is not supported.
Rationale 2: The hypothesis cannot be revised at this point of the study.
Rationale 3: Because half of the hypothesis is not supported, the researcher must report that the hypothesis is not supported.
Rationale 4: The hypothesis is either supported or it is not supported; partial support is not an acceptable alternative.
