2. Determine whether the evidence presented in each of the four sections of the journal article in part A1 supports the study’s findings and implications for future research.

3. Using specific information from the journal article from Part A, explain how the researcher addressed the protection of human subjects and cultural considerations.

4. Explain one study’s strength and one study’s limitation.

5. Explain how the evidence from Part A of the article influences current nursing practises.
