Answer to Question 1

B
Qualitative studies examine individuals' experiences with health problems and the contexts in which these experiences occur. A qualitative study is best in this case of an individual nurse who wants to examine the effectiveness of a local program.

Randomized controlled trials involve close monitoring of control groups and treatment groups to test an intervention against the usual standard of care. Case control studies typically compare one group of subjects with a certain condition against another group without the condition to look for associations between the condition and predictor variables. Descriptive studies focus mainly on describing the concepts under study.
