Disc 1, Compareindependent variables, dependent variables, and extraneous variables.Describe two ways that researchers attempt to control extraneousvariables. Provide an example of how this is applied using apeer-reviewed, primary research article.
Disc 2.
Select a research article that uses a randomized controlled trialfocusing on a clinical nursing problem of your choice. Use this researcharticle to address the following questions:
- Provide an APA reference of the article including a GCU permalink or working link used to access the article.
- Usingthe “CASP Randomized Controlled Trial Checklist,” found in topicResources, evaluate the study. Based on your findings, summarize thecritical appraisal of the selected research article.
- Do thebenefits of the experimental intervention outweigh the harms and costs?Identify and discuss one other ethical consideration applicable toquantitative research studies such as this one.
Initial discussionquestion posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least tworeferences cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty shouldbe 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “RN-BSN DiscussionQuestion Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in ClassResources, to understand the expectations for initial discussionquestion posts and participation posts, respectively.

Use the following components from the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete the assignment:
- Identified practice problem
- Two qualitative peer-reviewed research articles
- Two quantitative peer-reviewed research articles
Use the “Research Critiques and Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Guidelines” document to organize your paper.
