Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Years of nursing experience did not correlate with client survival, but nurse staffing and certified surgeons were also statistically significant in reducing mortality.
Rationale 2: Hospital data included the size, but this was not an outcome of the findings.
Rationale 3: This research study has generated much debate over the relationship of higher educational level of nursing staff and client mortality rate. For every 10 increase in proportion of higher-degree nurses, there was a 5 reduction in mortality. findings.
Rationale 4: Nurse staffing and certified surgeons were also statistically significant in reducing mortality.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 2: Ethnography is research that provides a framework to focus on the culture of a group of people.
