Introduction to Nursing Research
Week 5
Discussion
DQ1 The theoretical foundations of qualitative and
quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both
methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and
reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of
methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based
literature.
DQ2 According to the textbook, nurses in various settings
are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates
