Question

Zoe, a nurse in a primary care office, is talking to her coworker Jerry about his capstone project for graduate school. Jerry has decided to study the emotional intelligence of patients. He has found a valid and reliable tool to use for data collection. When Zoe asked about recruitment of subjects, he said he will have all of his patients complete the survey during their routine office visits over the next several weeks. Zoe asked what he will do if a patient doesn’t want to participate and Jerry stated that he would tell them it was a new form required of all patients by the primary care office. Zoe asked if the clinic supervisor was aware of his plans. Jerry stated that since he was only approaching his patients, he did not feel the need to tell the supervisor. Besides, his research advisor approved his plan. Respond to the following questions and provide support or a rationale for each of your responses. Each question is worth five (5) points.
