Hi,

Interesting study!

Response:

A. Identify an appropriate study design

An appropriate study design is an experimental design to determine I there is a significant difference between the three cooling temperatures on three levels of the depended variable (time to cool, shivering and self- perceived discomfort in adults with fever). Objective - seeks precise measurement ...
