INTRODUCTION
A research critique is a critical examination of a research project's successes and weaknesses. Critiquing is a method of reviewing scientific findings and the conclusions reached. Criticism is a method of critically evaluating a piece of study to demonstrate both its positives and limitations, as well as its relevance to practice. Professionals frequently need to select the best existing practice, and the opportunity to interpret and apply published research is crucial to this. Knowing the context in which the research was performed is significant because it clarifies the study's goal. (Asad 2017)
ARTICLE ONE: Quantitative Research: Ethics, Theory, and Research
The article's analysts concentrate on quantitative analysis. The writers further emphasize the importance of nursing scientific ethics and upholding the human interests of research participants in quantitative studies. The article investigates if registered nurses (RNs) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) will contribute to the nursing study. Recognizing how to adapt the information learned by reading and interpreting literature to clinical practice is critical not just for the BSN-prepared RN but also for all nurses. When doing a research report, the value of ethics and written informed cannot be overstated. Following the revelation of past human rights abuses, a code of ethics for science was created to ensure that professional principles are followed. To safeguard researchers in research trials, ethical standards are developed by government legislation all over the world. Until beginning the process of explicit consent, the test approach explained the sample that will be tested to determine the study's potential positive and negative consequences.
Informed consent has three significant characteristics: disclosure of relevant facts necessary for the prospective subject to make an informed decision, and assisting in ensuring that the material provided to the potential study topic was known, as well as encouraging the notion that the theoretical research subject is voluntarily participating in the study. An experiment requiring informed consent will not be carried out until the correct consent was received; thus, Informed consent was obtained after the prospective test subject engaging in research. As a part of medical ethics, informed consent strikes a compromise between autonomy and beneficence, ensuring sufficient guarantee of voluntary and autonomous involvement without jeopardizing access to research benefits.

The distinction between qualitative and quantitative analysis is that qualitative research investigates and attributes significance to subjective life events. In contrast, quantitative research is used to prove correlations between factors numerically. When you use quantitative analysis, you're looking at the interaction between variables on purpose. The extent of the partnership being analyzed can vary determined by the research nature. If respondents do not take their diabetes drug as prescribed, a report on diabetic medication will not produce satisfactory results. Education and information are essential components of chronic illness treatment techniques. People with chronic diseases who are educated are thought to be more able to take charge of their health, invest in their health treatment and management, and improve their health results.

ARTICLE TWO: Research Ethics and Evaluation of Qualitative Research
Nurse scholars investigate facets of the nursing profession using observational analysis methods. Among other aspects of the human condition, these could include living experiences, emotions, and expectations. For example, a nurse investigator may plan a study to understand more about breast cancer victims' living experiences. The licensed nurse will also use this knowledge to plan for providing treatment to this patient group. The nursing study is consumed by teaching assistantship nurses. The nurse in this role accesses, evaluates and can engage in clinical research.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) produced the first official nursing code of ethics in 1950. The initial ANA Code of Ethics was created to provide a basis for clinical nursing practice based on integrity and ethical behavior. Since its inception, the ANA Codes of Ethics has gone through several changes, with the most recent edition being authorized by the ANA in 2015. The “values, responsibilities, tasks, and ethical ideals” of the career are defined in the contemporary ANA Code of Ethics. When managing complicated circumstances and ethical questions in the health care environment, the ANA Code of Ethics is a vital guideline for registered nurses to use. Ethical decision-making is complicated and complex. As a result, many professions develop ethical guidelines that help their practitioners cope with perplexing circumstances that eventually occur. (Dahnke 2009) The ethical conflict resolution method is complicated; to assist in principled strategic thinking, the nurse must consider fundamental ethical values. Nurses should use legal mechanisms and decision-making models to help them navigate ethical problems. An evidence-based strategy can aid patient care and better results to ethical dilemmas, including nursin...
