ULTIPLE CHOICE 1. What is a framework? a. The abstract, logical structure of meaning b . A concept at a high level of abstraction with a very general meaning c. An integrated set of defined concepts, existence statements, and relational statements that can be used to describe, explain, predict, or control that phenomenon d . A diagram that expresses the interrelationships of concepts and statements ANS: A A framework is the abstract, logical structure of meaning that guides the development of the study and enables the researcher to link the findings to nursing’s body of knowledge. A concept is a term that abstractly describes and names an object, a phenomenon, or an idea, thus providing it with a separate identity or meaning. A construct is a concept at a high level of abstraction with a very general meaning. A theory consists of an integrated set of defined concepts, existence statements, and relational statements that can be used to describe, explain, predict, or control that phenomenon. A conceptual map is a diagram that expresses the interrelationships of the concepts and statements in a framework. DIF: Cognitive Level: Identification REF: Page 116 2. What is a concept? a.

Evaluation of the interrelationships of the concepts and statements in a framework b . The process of describing and naming a previously unrecognized concept c. Modifying conceptual definitions from other disciplines to be consistent with nursing usage d . A strategy through which a set of characteristics essential to the connotative meaning of a concept is identified ANS: D Concept analysis is a strategy through which a set of characteristics essential to the connotative meaning of a concept is identified. Concept synthesis is the process of describing and naming a previously unrecognized concept. Modifying conceptual definitions from other disciplines to be consistent with nursing usage is known as concept derivation. DIF: Cognitive Level: Identification REF: Page 119 5. What is concept synthesis? a. Creations of the interrelationships between concepts and statements in a framework b . The process of describing and naming a previously unrecognized concept c.

What is a conceptual model? a. A model made up of constructs, between which a relationship may or may not exist b . A set of highly abstract, related constructs c. An integrated set of defined concepts, existence statements, and relational statements that can be used to describe, explain, predict, or control that phenomenon d . A diagram
