Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section. NRS 433V Week 1 Literature Search: Prevention of Surgical Site Infection.
When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine that research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Extra Credit Commentary Instructions
You may submit up to 2 extra credit commentaries on any of the assigned (non-textbook) readings throughout the semester. Each commentary is worth 2 points of extra credit added to your overall point total for the semester. To earn these points, you must submit a 3-5 page double-spaced response to a selected assigned research article on Canvas. NRS 433V Week 2 – Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Committee Initiative Assignment.
Your commentary should have a clearly stated argument which you then support with logic and additional academic sources. As long as you critically engage with a reading in an organized, coherent manner that is generally free of grammatical and spelling errors, you will earn both possible points. Some example prompts for a commentary include (but are not limited to):
- Explain why the article made an important contribution to the field.
- Briefly summarize the state of research prior to the article and how the article built off of that foundation and propelled the field forward in a meaningful way. Use class readings or outside sources to support your argument. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Committee Initiative.
- Argue that the article’s findings are suspect and should be interpreted with caution.
- Point out some limitations of the author’s methods or logic using class readings or outside sources to support your claims.
- Propose a follow-up study for the research presented.
- No study is perfect. Describe a follow-up study the authors could do to improve upon the one they presented in the article. Use class readings or outside sources to support your suggestion.
