Response to Ahmed,
The question does ask a question with a nursing intervention and an outcome. To test the effectiveness of the change in practice and advance the discussion topic on research designs, what is the difference between a true experimental design and a quasi-experimental design based on the readings this week as it relates to changing a practice based on existing evidence? Some considerations for using an experimental design are limited with respect to implementing a change in practice and elements of feasibility such as time, cost,
ethical approach to withholding standard of care, sample size and what the question is asking are some of the elements of research designs (Gray & Grove, 2021).
