Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Finding clinical practice guidelines can be challenging, because there is no single guideline repository. A standard search in bibliographic databases such as MEDLINE will yield many referencesbut could yield a mixture of citations to not only the actual guidelines, but also to commentaries, implementation studies, and so on.
A recommended approach is to search in guideline databases, or through specialty organizations that have sponsored guideline development. In the United States, nursing and health-care guidelines are maintained by the National Guideline Clearinghouse (www.guideline.gov). In Canada, the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) (www.rnao.org/bestpractices) maintains information about clinical practice guidelines. Two sources in the United Kingdom are the Translating Research into Practice (TRIP) database and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Less bias would be indicated by the content of a data collection instrument, not the type of instrument. Interviews are more time consuming to conduct than a questionnaire; a questionnaire may be more time consuming to construct than an interview. Response rate for an interview is usually higher than the return rate for questionnaires.
Rationale 2: In-depth responses from each subject are one major advantage of an interview.
Rationale 3: Interviews are more time consuming to conduct than a questionnaire; a questionnaire may be more time consuming to construct than an interview.
Rationale 4: Response rate for an interview is usually higher than the return rate for questionnaires.
