Researchers Study the Impact of Internalized Bias on Patient Care

question 1

Multiple Choice

Researchers study the impact of internalized bias on patient care. Nurses complete a survey which determines a score for their internalized bias from 0-100. Without knowing the internalized bias score, patients are asked to rank the subsequent care they receive from the nurse as poor, fair, good or exemplary. In this study your independent variable is measured at what level of measurement?

Definitions:

Algal Blooms

Rapid increase in the population of algae in aquatic systems, often causing environmental problems.

Cultural Eutrophication

The process by which water bodies become overly enriched with nutrients due to human activity, leading to excessive growth of algae and subsequent environmental problems.

Phosphate Detergents

Cleaning products that contain phosphorus compounds, which, when released into natural water bodies, can cause eutrophication and harm aquatic life.

Input Control

strategies or methods used to manage the amount of inputs (such as water, nutrients, pesticides) in agricultural systems to minimize environmental impact.
