Assignment task: Identify situations in your own nursing practice where research is needed to address clinical problems. Share these problems with your classmates and respond to at least two classmates. Remember that your responses must be substantive.
Thoughts to direct this discussion: Students will present a clinical problem from their practice. You may have a problem similar to another student's posting. How does the problem differ in your area of practice? Would a quantitative or qualitative research design best fit with this problem? Can you state a research purpose to address the problem? What do you need to think about when you consider the feasibility of studying this problem? Care to think about a hypothesis? Can you identify the type of hypothesis you propose?
