Prior Coping Skills In Dealing With Their Current Situation. Which Qualitative Research
Tradition Does This Exemplify?
A) Ethnography B) Grounded Theory

Experiences) And Applying Them To Current Situations In Order To Interpret
The Process Of Alzheimer's Disease Is An Example Of Phenomenology.
Grounded Theory Is Research To Understand Social Structures And Social
Processes. Ethnography Is Research That Provides A Framework To Focus On
The Culture Of A Group Of People. Substantive Dimension Is Not A Research
Tradition, Rather A Way To Critique Research Reports.

6) A Significant Research Study Was Conducted On Surgical Clients In Pennsylvania Hospitals. 6)
Findings Concluded That:
A) Hospital Size Did Not Affect Client Survival.
B) Nurses With BSN Or Higher Degrees Were Associated With Lower Mortality.
C) Nurse-To-Client Ratios Did Not Have A Bearing On Significant Reduction In Client Mortality
D) Years Of Nursing Experience Increased Client Survival.

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.
Years Of Nursing Experience Did Not Correlate With Client Survival, But Nurse
Staffing And Certified Surgeons Were Also Statistically Significant In
Reducing Mortality. Hospital Data Included The Size, But This Was Not An
Outcome Of TheFindings.
