I need the following 2 questions answered in 150 words each
Review the article “Translating Research for Evidence-Based Practice,” provided in the topic Resources. Then answer the following questions in your initial post.
Find a research article that supports the intervention of your project. Determine if the article is peer-reviewed or if this a practice-based publication that offers expert opinions. Explain.
What type of research was conducted? Where does it fall on the hierarchy of research designs? (Refer to Figure 1 in “Translating Research for Evidence-Based Practice”). What possible sources of bias are present in the study?
Based on this questions, I need you to help me respond to the following post

Intervention: Does the use of the Hendrich II Fall Scale reduce rate of falls in a rehabilitation unit.
Article:
Campanini, I., Mastrangelo, S., Bargellini, A., Bassoli, A., Bosi, G., Lombardi, F., Tolomelli, S., Lusuardi, M., & Merlo, A. (2018). Feasibility and predictive performance of the Hendrich Fall Risk Model II in a rehabilitation department: a prospective study. BMC Health Services Research, 18(18). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-017-2815-x
This article is considered primary research level 2 according to the Hierarchy of Research Designs and Levels of Scientific Evidence (Bowen & Forrest, 2017). The above-mentioned article is considered level 2 since it falls under cohort studies and is observational prospective. The article is peer-reviewed, and the authors have published it in a scholarly journal. Bowen & Forrest state to review the references of an article while determining the merit of research articles and the ones that are listed in Campanini et al. (2018) are from other scholarly journals and not opinion statements or editorials. Another way that determined it was a peer-reviewed journal is the instructions on submitting an article to BMC Health Services Research and the steps they would help with publishing the manuscript, one being they provide a thorough peer review. The risk for bias in this study is low since all patients were assessed with objective measures. The use of objective measures over subjective measurement provides a more unbiased outlook (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019).

Hello class,
With data, it is best when collected by the researchers themselves. Anytime you delegate the task of implementing the intervention and data collection, you cannot ensure either was done correctly. This means you need to plan how your own QI project will be implemented with this in mind.
Thoughts?
