A nurse researcher is testing the hypothesis that whether or not clients with fractured hips develop pressure ulcers can be predicted on the basis of their age, gender, and hemoglobin levels. Which procedure would the researcher likely use?

	A.	Analysis of covariance
	B.	Repeated-measures ANOVA
	C.	Multiple linear regression
	D.	Logistic regression

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here multiple linear regression method can be used.

It's a statistical method which uesd more explanatory variable to reach the Outcome Or to establish relationship between explanatory variable and response variable.

Here, to establish linear relationship between pressure ulcer and fractured hip, we use ecplanatory variables such as age, gender and hemoglobin levels.

Hypothesis testing using Z statistics: A researcher is interested in whether short-term memory in the elderly is different from short-term memory in the general population. The literature suggests that short-term memory declines with age. Population mean=125 Sample mean=121 Population SD=10 Sample size=36 Test the hypothesis that the elderly sample has significantly less short-term memory than the general population. Use α = .05 State your z-statistic in appropriate APA format. What is your decision? Do you need to calculate a Cohen’s...
