As a professional nurse researcher who now specializes in statistics, briefly explain your research design if you were to theoretically carry out a study in your practice setting that focuses on your PICOT question "In COPD patients with compression fractures who participate in pulmonary rehab, what effect does Vertebroplasty, compared with non-surgical intervention, have on functional capacity during pulmonary rehab?"

Explain what sampling method you would use for your research study and what research design you would use for your data analysis. For instance, if you wanted to do a pretest/posttest design for patients who participated an educational session, you would use a pairedt-test. If you were able to use a visual representation to display your data, what graph would you choose to do so? Explain
