Rationale 1: "Demonstrating that saline is equally effective as heparin solution in keeping intravenous locks patent" is most likely based upon a nurse's personal experience because it addresses a first-hand experience of nursing practice.
Rationale 2: "Determining whether a proposition that centeredness of decision-making varies throughout the course of an adult client's hospitalization applies to clients over the age of 67" is incorrect because the source of that problem is most likely a theory.
Rationale 3: "Establishing that a nursing intervention is just as effective in an acute care setting as it was in a clinic" is incorrect because the source of that problem is most likely previous research.
Rationale 4: "Proposing that nursing as it was practiced at the time of Florence Nightingale is evident in nursing as it was practiced in the 20th century" is incorrect because the most likely source for the problem is literature.
