• Please place the question first and then the response below the question. Requirement is 2 current scholarly peer reviewed references for each question; each reference is to have a corresponding in-text citation, APA formatting and information that supports the discussion and a minimum of 275-350 words each question (this is excluding the references). Absolutely no more than 0-5% of each response is to be cited. Be sure to include the essential APA elements per the 6th Edition (do not use you first person, third person, or past tense). Please make sure verbs and nouns agree with each other. In addition, make sure you provide a reference with a page or para number after a direct quote.
o Here is an example of APA formatting:
There are three types of qualitative designs ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded theory. The design type that would best fit at my facility is that of phenomenology. This type of design seeks to examine peoples’ life experience and the essence of the phenomena (Polit & Beck, 2012). My facility is a busy level one-trauma center in Phoenix, which serves acutely ill patients, and their families in traumatic life events. An example of how this design type would research the phenomena in this facility is to examine the experience of patient’s family in the care of patients in traumatic arrest while in the emergency department. In a recent study by Hung and Pang (2011), a phenomenological approach was used to examine the experiences of family members’ presence during resuscitation in an emergency department in Hong Kong. The aim was to observe their experiences in this crisis dealing with their loved ones.
