2) A group of nurses is researching how care providers of Stage I/II Alzheimer's clients use prior 2) coping skills in dealing with their current situation. Which qualitative research tradition does this exemplify?

• Ethnography B) Grounded theory
• Substantive dimension D) Phenomenology

Answer: D 2 / 4

3 Explanation: A) Phenomenology is research that investigates people's life experiences and how they interpret those experiences. Using prior coping skills (life experiences) and applying them to current situations in order to interpret the process of Alzheimer's disease is an example of phenomenology. Grounded theory is research to understand social structures and social processes. Ethnography is research that provides a framework to focus on the culture of a group of people. Substantive dimension is not a research tradition, rather a way to critique research reports.Assessment Psychosocial integrity Application

An example of a dependent variable would be which of the following?

• Students' college GPAs
• Time between graduation and sitting for the NCLEX®
• NCLEX® scores of both groups
• Number of students in a study group

Answer: C 3 / 4

4 Explanation: A) The dependent variable is the behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the researcher wishes to explain or predict. The independent variable is the presumed cause of or influence on the dependent variable. In this situation, the prediction is the success on NCLEX®. All the other options would be examples of independent variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent variable.Assessment Safe, effective care environment Analysis
