Even though the nurses in a patient care area have been asked to collect data while conducting patient care, several nurses do the data collection only if time is available
Which research problem criteria does the inconsistent collection of data exemplify? 1. Feasible to address
2. Researchable
3. Of interest to the researcher
4. Significant to nursing
1
Rationale 1: Feasible to address means there is the cooperation of others and time to complete the research. The nurses collect the data only if there is time.
Rationale 2: The inconsistent data collection is not directly related to whether the study question is researchable.
Rationale 3: The researcher's interest in the study question does not change the inconsistency in data collection.
Rationale 4: The inconsistent data collection is not as relevant to the significance to nursing as it is to another option.
