C) States he is concerned about the loss of his free time
D) Walks around furniture as if his abdomen is enlarged
D
Feedback:
Many men experience physical symptoms and may begin to gain weight along with their partner. As a woman's abdomen begins to grow, the partner may perceive himself as growing larger too, as if he were the one who was experiencing changing boundaries the same as his partner. This indicates emotional involvement in the pregnancy. Stating a specific sex for the baby, losing free time, and refusing to paint the baby's room blue are not indications that the spouse is emotionally involved in the pregnancy.

The nursing research student is reviewing study designs prior to beginning a class assignment. Which statement, made by this study, reflects poor understanding of these designs?
1. I think the one-shot case study design will be best for my study because it controls threats to internal validity. 2. The one-group pretest-posttest design might be quicker to complete, but it is a weak design. 3. If I choose a time-series design, I should plan numerous measurements of my dependent variable to strengthen validity. 4. If I can randomly assign study subjects to my groups, I can use the pretest-posttest control group design.
