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:

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
