Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An experimental or quasi-experimental study would provide the kind of evidence to make the intervention one widely recognized as evidence-based practice.
Although distributing the article to co-workers is a great idea, it alone would not provide the data needed to consider the intervention as evidence-based practice.
A replication of a case study may lend support to the idea, but would not give it the clout that a more rigorous study would.
Writing to the editor of the journal that published the case study is a recommended activity, but will not create evidence-based practice. The correct answer is B. An experimental or quasi-experimental study would provide the kind of evidence to make the intervention one widely recognized as evidence-based practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
These activities are all done to eliminate as much bias as possible.
The entire study design and the results of the data collection determine the correlation coefficient. These activities are all done to eliminate as much bias as possible.
Reliability means to achieve the same results in the same manner consistently. These activities are all done to eliminate as much bias as possible.
The setting is the place or places that data is collected. These activities are all done to eliminate as much bias as possible.
