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.

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.
