|description |and |explanation
Fact |- |correct |answers✔✔-Something |known |with |certainty
Theory |- |correct |answers✔✔-A |set |of |two |or |more |concepts, |definitions, |and
|propositions |that |project |a |systematic |view |of |phenomena |by |designing
|specific |interrelationships |among |concepts |for |purposes |of |describing,
|explaining, |and |predicting |(Chinn |& |Jacob, |1987; |Fawcett, |2000)
• |Generally, |applicable |in |clinical |practice |• |Facts |need |to |be |ordered |in |a
|cohesive |body |that |will |result |in |an |organized |body |of |knowledge. |• |Provide |a
|description, |prediction, |understanding, |and |explanation |of |phenomena |(Kim)
|• |_____ |allows |one |to |explain |past |events, |provide |a |sense |of |understanding
|about |current |events, |predict |future |events |and |provide |the |potential |for
|controlling |them |• |Nursing |intervention |is |served |through |the |ability |to
|predict |and |ultimately |to |control |phenomena |associated |with |health |and
|health |care |• |A |degree |of |uncertainty |is |inherent |in |______; |the |concepts |may
|be |tentative |and |the |propositions |may |be |predictions |of |what |reality |is
|believed |to |be |like, |rather |than |a |set |of |known, |undeniable |facts |(Hoover,
|1988) |• |The |functions |of |_____ |include |summarization |of |knowledge,
|explanation |of |phenomena |of |interest |to |the |discipline |employing |the |_____,
|and |provision |of |to |guide, |predict |and |ultimately |to |control |phenomena
|(Mehlberg, |1962) |• |T_____ |are |composed |of |assertions |that |state |specific
|relationships |between |two |or |more |concepts
How |does |theory |contribute |to |the |scientific |base |of |a |discipline? |- |correct
|answers✔✔-conceptual |models |and |theories |PRESENT |DIFFERENT |VIEWS
|OF |PHENOMENON. |
-link |results |of |research |together |leading |to |cumulative |scientific |knowledge. |
-provide |frameworks |by |which |to |study |concepts |& |variables. |
-provide |frameworks |that |allows |interpretation |of |research |findings |beyond
|specific |data.
, Model |- |correct |answers✔✔• |An |idea |that |explains |by |using |symbolic |and
|physical |visualization |• |Symbolic |models |may |be |verbal, |schematic, |or
|quantitative |• |Verbal |models |are |worded |statements |• |Schematic |models |may
|be |diagrams, |drawings, |graphs |or |pictures |• |Quantitative |models |are
|mathematical |symbols |• |Physical |models |may |look |like |what |they |are
|supposed |to |represent; |For |example, |body |organs |may |become |more |abstract
|while |still |keeping |some |of |the |physical |properties, |like |ECG |tracings |•
|Models |can |be |used |"to |facilitate |thinking |about |concepts |and |relationships
|between |them |(Bush, |1979) |or |to |map |out |the |research |process |(Chinn |&
|Jacob, |1989)
Conceptual |Model |- |correct |answers✔✔-ABSTRACT |AND |GENERAL
|ideas(concepts) |& |propositions |that |specify |relationships. |
-Integrate |those |concepts |into |a |meaningful |configuration |(Fawcett).
Paradigm |- |correct |answers✔✔Science, |philosophy |and |theory |are |all
|components |of |the |domain |of |any |scientific |discipline; |used |to |denote |the
|prevailing |network |of |science, |philosophy |and |theory |accepted |by |a |discipline
|• |What |members |of |the |community |have |in |common; |Includes: |knowledge,
|philosophy, |theory, |educational |experience, |practice |orientation, |research
|methodology |and |literature |identified |with |the |discipline |(shared |framework
|and |a |shared |view |held |by |a |discipline |(Melesis)
- |The |prevailing |*** |directs |the |activities |of |the |discipline |• |It |is |accepted |by
|the |majority |of |individuals |within |the |discipline |and |suggest |the |areas |of
|study |of |interest |to |the |discipline |and |the |means |to |study |them
Concept |- |correct |answers✔✔• |A |complex |mental |formulation |of |an |object,
