Question

Below are five non directional hypotheses. Restate each one as a directional

hypothesis.

1. Tactile stimulation is associated with comparable physiologic arousal as

verbal stimulation among infants with congenital heart disease.

2. The risk for hypoglycemia in term newborns is related to the infant's birth

weight.

3. The use of isotonic sodium chloride solution before endotracheal suctioning is related to oxygen saturation.

4. Fluid balance is related to degree of success in weaning older adults from

mechanical ventilation.

5. Nurses administer the same amount of narcotic analgesics to male and

female

Answer 1

1) Is tactile stimulation associated with greater physiological and behavioral arousal in infants with congenital heart disease than verbal stimulation?

2) The risk for hypoglycemia in term newborns is greater in low birth weight infants?

3) Does isotonic sodium chloride instillation may before endotracheal suctioning decreases oxygen saturation?

4) Persistent positive fluid balance in older surgical patients is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation?
