Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: A theory is a set of interrelated constructs (concepts), definitions, and propositions that present a systematic view of phenomena by specifying relations among variables, with the purpose of explaining and predicting the phenomena.
Rationale 2: A concept is a word picture or mental idea of a phenomenon.
Rationale 3: A proposition is a statement or assertion of the relationship between concepts, not variables.
Rationale 4: A hypothesis is written to predict the relationship between the variables in the study.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 6
Rationale 1: The findings of the study are not meaningful until the implications for nursing are identified.
Rationale 2: After reviewing many theories, the researcher must choose one to test.
Rationale 3: The researcher must choose an instrument that will test the hypothesis or research question that is also congruent with the theory being tested.
Rationale 4: The findings of the study should be described in light of the explanations provided by the theory.
Rationale 5: The chosen theory should be used to define the study variable.
Rationale 6: Most studies result in additional questions or the need for replication of the study in order to support study findings.
Global Rationale:
