Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Documentation will help you to conduct a more efficient search by preventing unintended duplication, and will also help you to assess what else needs to be tried. Although documentation does provide a history of useful search words and may simplify preparation of the reference list, neither of these is the primary purpose. Documentation does not ensure approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Although reading each article in detail would allow you to evaluate each reference in terms of relevance, reviewing the abstracts would be most time efficient. Evaluating the heading terms in the articles would not be helpful in identifying the most useful articles, because they would not tell you enough information about the article. Comparing databases for duplicate-references reports would also not be useful for this purpose.
