Discussion Post: Quantitative Research
Scenario:
The standard care for diabetic patients with stage 2 or 3 pressure ulcers includes the use of antibiotic creams and daily dressing changes. Healing times can be weeks to months. It has been theorized that low-pressure pulsatile lavage may decrease the healing time for diabetic patients with stage 2 and 3 pressure ulcers in addition to the standard treatment. The research team is seeking to know the best design for testing this theory.
Your discussion for this week responds to the researchers question of design. Support your design selection with at least 2 scholarly journal articles related to your design selection. You can use your textbook for additional support.
Your initial post will:
• Identify the problem under research.
• State the purpose
• Identify the hypothesis(es) or research question
• Identify the intervention
• Identify the dependent (DV) and independent (IV).
• Identify the conceptual framework related to the researcher's theory.
• Identify the research design best suited for this study.
• Discuss the design and why it would be the best.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
