Please post the Sample section for Chapter III and the Setting as you have described it in your chapter as your initial posting. I. Sample This will cover: (1) how subjects will be recruited, (2) inclusion and exclusion criteria will be; (3) type of sample (random, purposive, convenience, etc.), (4) proposed sample size and rationale for this choice and (5) selection method (quantitative: random table of numbers, flip a coin, etc.–will depend on the type of study/project). While this subsection should cover all these items, this posting is written in a narrative style that covers each of these points. If you are conducting a quantitative study/project, it is important to include the number of subjects that you will need to minimize Type II error using a reliable source, such as G*Power version 3.0.10 (http://download.cnet.com/G-Power/3000-2054_4-10647044.html) or J. Cohen\’s 1988 book, Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences (2nd. ed.). London: Routledge. II. Setting Please describe the setting where your project will take place. The setting should be described but not be identified by name or recognizable to ensure privacy. For example, if you were choosing the Smith Conference Room at MGH to conduct your focus groups, describe your setting as a conference room within an academic medical center or an acute care teaching hospital in the Northeast. Present a broad view of the setting as describe it: \”The proposed setting for this study/project is a large, teaching hospital in the Northeast section of the United States. The actual place where the study/project observations will be carried out are three (3) medical-surgical units within this hospital. Each unit has a bed capacity of 25-30 beds with patient occupancy rates of 92%-95%.”
