A nurse uses a 10-item pain questionnaire translated into Urdu. Which step best supports the instrument's validity in this setting?
Correct answer: B. Using translation and back-translation by experts
- A. Increasing the font size of each item
- B. Using translation and back-translation by experts
- C. Giving the questionnaire only to senior nurses
- D. Calculating the response rate after collection
Explanation
Translation followed by back-translation and expert review helps preserve the original meaning and supports content and cultural validity. Font size, participant profession, and response rate do not establish whether the items measure pain accurately.
