Description
Overview
In this Performance Task Assessment, you will create a reference list of terms and concepts relating to the elements of the research process.
As part of your responsibilities at work, you and your colleagues must be able to review and critique nursing research articles in order to apply them in practice. Nursing research, however, uses a very specific set of terms and concepts that can be challenging to differentiate. In an attempt to clarify and ensure understanding, you are creating a reference list of these terms that will help to keep the terminology straight. In the Assessment Template, you are asked to define each term in your own words, then provide an example of where or how this term is used in practice.
