The nurse, critiquing a quantitative research study, is particularly interested in information obtained in stage 3 of the critique. This information would most likely include:
1. How the findings of the study advance nursing knowledge.
2. The major strengths of the study.
3. Whether the study can be replicated.
4. How ethical issues were handled.
How the findings of the study advance nursing knowledge.
Rationale: Stage 3 of a quantitative research critique focuses on the findings, discussion, implications, and conclusions. Within implications and conclusions, the issue of how the findings of the study advance nursing knowledge should be addressed. The major strengths of the study and whether the study can be replicated are critiqued in the fourth stage of the process. How ethical issues were handled is critiqued in stage 2 of the process.
