Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A The study of women's experiences of a specific cardiac surgical procedure suggests a qualitative research study and the generation of a situation-specific theory or model.
B The title suggests the use of several models or middle-range theories (resilience, post-traumatic stress disorder) as a framework to study couple functioning.
C The title describes a quantitative study regarding the effect on cancer pain management (dependent variable) of two approacheseducation al coaching versus standard care (independent variables). Thus the implied theoretical framework has to do with motivational-interviewing-based coaching.
D The title suggests use of the theoretical framework of stress, coping, and resilience as applied to adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D

Feedback
Correct A theoretical framework can be implicitly or explicitly stated, depending on the type of research performed.
Not all research studies have a stated theoretical framework. In fact, qualitative research reports rarely cite theoretical frameworks.
Incorrect Theoretical frameworks guide hypothesis formation in quantitative studies, not in qualitative studies.
Theories from other disciplines may be used as long as they can be linked to the practice of nursing.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
