Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
An example of a model of nursing used by nurse researchers is Roy's Adaptation Model. Grand theories (or macro theories) attempt to describe large segments of the human experience. Non-nursing models used by nurse researchers (e.g., Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory) are referred to as borrowed theories; when the appropriateness of borrowed theories for nursing inquiry is confirmed, the theories become shared theories. The Theory of Stress and Coping is an example of a borrowed theory. Some qualitative researchers seek to develop grounded theories, data-driven explanations to account for phenomena under study through inductive processes.
