This would be an example of a clinical practice application. This is a tool that you will actually use as a nurse in practice. A research example would include the use of sociology to study how people from different cultures are affected by a diagnosis of chronic disease.
You must use two sources, so for two of your examples you must find scholarly sources to support your application. Complete sentences with citation according to APA 6th edition guidelines.
