Therefore, we do not use the word prove. End this portion by making a brief statement describing the study. In answering questions 2 and 3 you will draw upon your review of the literature.

All studies have limitations.
A thorough, honest researcher identifies and limitations and reports them to the reader. The sample used in this study are from one health care institution in the rural south. A convenience sampling was utilized rather than a random sampling . The time frame permitted the researchers did not allow for a longitudinal study.
