Answer to Question 1

D
The focus of phenomenology is on the lived experience of a specific phenomenon from the per-spective of the people who are engaged in the situation.
Ethnography involves the observation and description of behaviour in social settings.
Grounded theory is a research method which generates hypotheses and theories about social processes inductively from the data (i.e., examining the situation afresh) rather than reviewing the literature to see what has already been researched.
Descriptive survey designs use statistical techniques to test for significant relationships among the variables.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Patients with impaired tactile sensation, such as the patient with diabetic neuropathy, should be cautioned to have the setting on the water heater no higher than 48.8C.
B An absence of smoke detectors is not the greatest risk for the patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It would be of greater risk for the patient who has an olfactory impairment.
C The greatest risk for the patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy is an improper water heater setting, as the patient would not be able to feel water that is too hot and could therefore experience injury.
D Although a lack of bathroom grab bars may place the patient at risk for falls, it is not the greatest risk for the patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
