Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The purpose of phenomenology, which is both a philosophy and a research method, is to describe experiences as they are lived by the subjects being studied. Historical research examines events of the past to increase understanding of the nursing profession today. Ethnography is used to examine issues of a culture that are of interest to nursing. The basis of grounded theory methodology is the discovery of how people describe their own reality, and how their beliefs are related to their actions in a social scene.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B
A process is a series of actions, changes, or functions intended to bring about a desired result. During a process, one takes systematic and continuous steps to meet a goal and uses both assessments and feedback to direct actions that meet the goal. Reading a nursing journal is considered science. Consulting an ethics committee and providing culturally competent nursing care is considered philosophy.
