MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A master’s student states, in her thesis, that “despite public awareness programs to educate
the public about the safety of pediatric immunizations, a staunch core of highly educated and
well-informed parents continues to attribute the rise in childhood autism to vaccination.
Because of this, recent efforts have been brought to bear in the qualitative arena, attempting
to identify and isolate factoids and half-truths that perpetuate the myth. Nonetheless, mostly
because belief structures appear bound by geography, not enough is known about reasons that
some clusters of parents postpone or avoid vaccination.” The quotation is an example of a
and appears in the section of the research report.
a. Objective, methods
b. Purpose statement, introduction c. Problem statement, introduction d. Literature
review, results
ANS: C
The problem statement identifies the specific gap in the knowledge needed for practice. The
introduction of a research report discusses the background and significance of the problem;
identifies the problem statement and purpose, reviews the relevant empirical and theoretical
literature, describes the study framework, and identifies the research purpose (aims,
objectives, questions, or hypotheses if applicable).

2. Prior to conducting a grounded theory study, in which eleven women undergoing radiation
for breast cancer were interviewed multiple times, the researchers conducted a pilot study in
which they interviewed three women every two weeks from the time radiation was planned
until four weeks after it was completed. The purpose for the pilot study was to refine the
interview instrument and to discover whether women would be willing to be interviewed this
,frequently about such a private topic. The pilot was not published separately, and the
researcher wants to include information about revisions in the instrument during the pilot
phase. Where would this be included in the research report?
a. Introduction
b. Methods
c. Results
d. Appendix
ANS: B
If the research project included a pilot study, in the methods section the researcher will briefly
describe the planning, implementation, and results obtained from the pilot study. Any
changes made in the research project based on the pilot study are mentioned here.

3. Prior to conducting a grounded theory, in which eleven women undergoing radiation for
breast cancer were interviewed multiple times, the researchers conducted a pilot study in
which they interviewed three women every two weeks from the time radiation was planned
until four weeks after it was completed. The purpose for the pilot study was to refine the
interview instrument and to discover whether women would be willing to be interviewed this
frequently about such a private topic. The pilot was not published separately, and the
institutional review board application indicated the researcher’s intent to include information
in the research report about what going through the process of radiation therapy was like for
the three pilot study women, in addition to the eleven main study women. In this case, if it
were not included in the method section, where would the information about the process of
going through radiation therapy obtained from the pilot study women be included?

changes made in the research project based on the pilot study are mentioned here. However,
data analysis in qualitative research occurs concurrently with data collection. In addition,
analysis of an interview’s data may result in additional questions being asked in subsequent
interviews to confirm or not confirm initial interpretations of the data. Because of this,
information
related to the phenomenon and obtained in the pilot phase may be included in the results
section.

4. “All subjects were asked whether they would be willing to participate in this descriptive
study, while they waited to be seen by a gastroenterologist, prior to their initial
colonoscopies. They were given basic information about the research and told that
