measurement for qualitative research it is necessary to consider two aspects: validity and
reliability. Measures can vary depending on the information gathered, how complex it is and
the scores they garner (Polit & Beck, 2016). There are different levels of measurement used
to measure quantitative research variables in nursing. It also refers to the relationship that
exists between the values and the attributes for a variable (Trochim, 2020).There are four
levels of measurement, nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio (Trochim, 2020). The nominal
level refers to naming the value without any mathematical reason. Ordinal provides
information in the order of a value. Interval indicates the value in each category and ratio is
used to compare how one item is more or less of something than another (QuestionPro,
2020).I would prefer to use nominal level of measurement when conducting research. This
type of measurement can be obtained from open-ended questions and multiple-choice
questions. This type of measurement can be analyzed by recording percentages
(QuestionPro, 2020). This is the type of measure that is leads to precise thus making it my
choice.ReferencesNominal, ordinal, interval, ratio scales with examples. (2020, May 12).

proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and
grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect
your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical
mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before
handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend
proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to
uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface.
Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to
read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to
compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-
spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between

2. letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are
unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly
formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each
page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If
it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
