Think of a frustrating experience you have had as a nursing student or as a practicing nurse. Identify the problem area. Write many questions that pertain to the experience until you obtain one that is researchable. Approach your question using the quantitative methodology to answer the question that you have identified. Using one to two sentences for each bullet point, describe the following: A research problem statement A statement of purpose for the research A research question A statement that describes if you would you use a simple hypothesis or a complex hypothesis; a directional hypothesis or a nondirectional hypothesis; a research hypothesis or a null hypothesis and why you chose this type of hypothesis. Your beliefs if the quantitative research methodology is the most appropriate methodology to answer this question or if this problem would be better answered using the qualitative research methodology. Why?
