Answer 1

1. The essential elements in conducting research are

• Variable: Variable is the change of force of one variable with another variable. The two forms of variables are used in the research study. Dependent variable and independent variable.
• Cause and Effect: The association between the cause and effect is necessary to understand the relation between the cause of one thing and the outcomes of cause(effect). It is usually predicted in experimental design.
• Sampling: Sampling is the most important thing in research studies. Sampling is the selection of participants from the group.
• Random selection: It is the process of selecting participants from a group to the experimental and controlled group by providing equal opportunity.
• Hypothesis: In research, the hypothesis has to be analyzed properly to reduce bias.

2. It is important for nurses to incorporate research into daily practice to improve the quality of care and positive outcomes. Research studies help the nurses to implement Evidence-based intervention for the safe delivery of care. It improves the nurse's clinical knowledge and practices.

3. The three biggest challenges involved in conducting research are

• The utmost challenge is the choosing of right topic for the research study. Conducting a study on a research topic that has more necessity and needs.
• Another challenge is the choice of the right methodology based on the research problem. Choosing the correct method whether qualitative or quantitative is challengeable to move forward in research studies.
• The final challenge is a set of data. The collected data has to utilized properly for the research studies to organize the body of knowledge and to interpret the results.

4. The strategies to overcome these challenges are

• Choose a topic on a theoretical basis and support the topic.
• Have in-depth knowledge of the topic.
• clear with your study design to choose the correct methodology.
• The initial planning process to be set right.
• Listen and stay focused on the data.
• Analyze the biases strictly.

5. Three ways, the nurse researcher can promote adherence to the highest ethical principles

• Accountability is the ethical principle of accepting the nurse's action on their own. The nurse is responsible for the things on the research.
• Confidentiality of participant information and data collected in research is important. Maintaining anonymity and confidentiality is the vital ethical principles in nursing research.
• Informed consent is the taking of permission prior to conducting research from the participants is another principle must be followed by the nurse. It protects the nurse and acts as a legal document in research studies.
