Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

A prospective study starts with an event and then monitors the outcomes. A retrospective study starts with an event and then looks at past records to determine the possible causes or past rates of occurrence. A controlled study is not covered in the text. An experimental study is often conducted to determine the effectiveness of a particular therapeutic modality.

Answer to Question 2

A prospective study starts with an event and then moves forward in time to look at outcomes such as follow-up studies. An experimental study is often conducted to determine the effectiveness of a particular therapeutic modality.
