Answer to Question 1

A
According to Fawcett (2005), a concept is a word or phrase that summarizes ideas, observations, and experiences (p. 4). The concept is the basic building block of a theory.
A construct is a working hypothesis or idea that is part of a bigger whole.
A proposition is another name for theoretical statements.
A theory is a statement or group of statements that describe, explain, or predict relationships among concepts.

Answer to Question 2

C
Students are protected from marginal programs by both regional and specialty accreditation and by approval of the program by state legal regulatory bodies, specifically state boards of nursing. Accreditation by specialty bodies means that programs at least meet, and may exceed, minimum standards.
Faculty qualifications are a vital component when assessing program quality.
Both the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) are approved by the Department of Education as official accreditations agencies.
The information described means that the school at least meets basic requirements; however, it does not help rank it. Perhaps a better measure of the rank of schools can be found in the percentage of first-time writers of the board examination who are successful over several years.
