Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Systematic reviews can take various forms. One form is a narrative (qualitative) integration that merges and synthesizes findings, much like a rigorous literature review. For integrating evidence from quantitative studies, narrative reviews increasingly are being replaced by a type of systematic review known as a meta-analysis. Meta-analysis is a technique for integrating quantitative research findings statistically. For qualitative studies, integration may take the form of a meta-synthesis. A meta-synthesis, however, is distinct from a quantitative meta-analysis: a meta-synthesis is less about reducing information and more about interpreting it. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experiments are not types of systematic reviews.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: This is none of the interviewer's business and is an inappropriate remark.
Rationale 2: There should be no pressure put on subjects to answer questions.
Rationale 3: This remark insinuates that the subject has an obligation to answer the question, which is incorrect.
Rationale 4: This answer could create guilt in the subject to get him or her to answer the question.
