Question QuestionWhat sampling method or plan was used by the authors in this study?…  What sampling method or plan was used by the authors in this study?a.Simple random samplingb.Systematic samplingc.Purposive (convenience) samplingd.Network sampling 4 points  QUESTION 2According to Grove, Gray, and Burns (2015), what are the potential biases of this sampling method?a.This is a strong probability sampling method with very little potential for biasb.This method is used when an ordered list of all members of the population are available and provides a random but not equal chance for inclusion in the study.c.This method provides little opportunity to control for bias because subjects are included in the study merely because they happen to be in the right place at the right time.d.This method is specific to the individuals who were recruited and the information gained cannot be generalized to others who don’t share these types of experiences.e.None of the above biases best describe the sampling method chosen by the author. 4 points  QUESTION 3What was the final sample size reported by the authors for this study?a.1000 participantsb.351 participantsc.250 participantsd.128 participants 4 points  QUESTION 4Was a power analysis conducted?

Which of these statements from the article would be considered a significant and predicted result about teamwork?a.The belief that each team member should spend time and energy to make the team work (AATS) was significantly associated with the TCS item communication.b.Older nurses have higher levels of belief in the importance of teamwork than younger nurses.c.Nurses were more likely to report observing others being bullied (53%) than to report the direct experience of being bullied (31%) in the past 6 months.d.Nurses who work longer shifts (12+ hours) have greater likelihood of observing incivility at work compared to shorter shifts (8-10 hours). 4 points  QUESTION 21There are several statistically significant findings in this study.
