Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Historical research examines events of the past. Historians describe events in the context of time, social structures, concurrent events, and key individuals. These descriptions can increase understanding and raise awareness of the forces shaping current events. Historical nursing research can do the same for the profession and its role in society. Nurse researchers using historical methods have examined the events and people that shaped health in different settings and countries as well as nursing as a profession.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Grounded theory research is an inductive research technique developed by Glaser and Strauss through their study of the experience of dying. The method's name means the findings are grounded in the concrete world as experienced by the participants and are interpreted at a more abstract theoretical level.
