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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
