HESI Nursing Research II
HESI Nursing Research II ( 54 Questions)
A nurse wants to know if the general population is aware of the nursing shortage.
Which approach provides the most reliable/accurate information?
Visiting local hospital waiting rooms and interviewing subjects may provide anecdotal information but may not be representative of the general population's awareness of the nursing shortage. It can be influenced by the specific demographics and characteristics of the people in the waiting rooms.
Listening to a radio talk show host's interview with a nurse recruiter provides information from a specific source and may not represent the views of the general population. It is limited to the opinions and perspectives presented in the interview.
Reading survey results published in a nursing journal about nurses' frustrations with short-staffing provides insights into nurses' perspectives but does not necessarily reflect the awareness of the general population. It is focused on the nursing profession and not the broader public.
Reviewing the Gallup organization's latest public opinion poll on the topic is the most reliable and accurate approach to assess the general population's awareness of the nursing shortage. Gallup polls typically use scientific sampling methods to gather data from a representative sample of the population, making their findings more generalizable and reliable.
