Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Performance improvement focuses on performance issues like falls or pressure ulcer incidence. A peer-reviewed article is reviewed for accuracy, validity, and rigor and approved for publication by experts before it is published. Generalizability is not a study/research; it is if the results of a study can be compared to other patients with similar experiences. This is a quantitative study, not a qualitative study.
