CASP 42:The assignment of patients to treatment was random where the potential subjects wereidentified before birth by determining the likelihood of the baby being underweight and thenmarking them as potential subject after which a computer minimization process is used beforebirth to narrow down the number of the subjects, even though the computer allocation sequencewas formulated by the researchers the exact patients likely to be chosen are not known orpredictable from the allocation sequence system, the researchers do not know who the likelysubject Is from the pool, however I was not told the considerations that were used by the systemin making the randomized selection out of the pool provided.3: The conclusion touched on both the patients and the nurse and further went on to thetwo categories of subjects being referred to, it concludes by clearly stating that newborn care ismore beneficial in perspective of physiological outcome and stability of the infant emphasizingon the need of mother’s skin to skin contact and not being separated from their kids (Bergman,Linley and Fawcus 2004.). This conclusion, therefore, comes at the correct time in that in thatsince the conclusion has already met its goal which was a comparison between the subjects at theincubator and those in their mother’s womb and accurate findings noted there is a need for theend.4: The patients were blind to the treatment since they are still infants and do notrecognize the process at that time but their parents were aware and informed of the incubationprocess and they gave their consent. The researchers and the health workers and the studypersonnel were aware of the study. The health workers (nurses ) were recruited In a period ofapproximately four years and they were trained on the whole process which could have entailed;how to do the observation ,how to do the recording during the study and they are the ones who
