A) Interrater reliability between the two data collectors was high.
B) Interrater reliability between the two data collectors was low.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrater reliability refers to the degree to which different raters/observers give consistent estimates of the same phenomenon. If two data collectors scored pressure ulcers similarly using the Braden Scale, it indicates that there was a high level of agreement between them, thus suggesting high interrater reliability.
