Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The ethnographic researcher uses the literature review to gain an understanding of the variables in the study and provide a background to the study.
Only a minimal review of literature is conducted before the start of a study in grounded theory research. The bulk of the review is completed during the analysis of data phase so as to compare and contrast the current research findings with previous findings.
In historical research, the literature review is used to select a research topic and develop research questions.
Phenomenologists do not review the literature before data collection and analysis so as not to bias their findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A primary source is written by the person who originated or is responsible for generating the ideas published.
The computer search can guide the researcher in finding articles of interest for the literature review, but is not considered a source in and of itself. The correct answer is A report of a study written by the researcher who did the study. A primary source is written by the person who originated or is responsible for generating the ideas published.
Primary sources are related to who originated the study and/or ideas, not the type of clinical area. The correct answer is A report of a study written by the researcher who did the study. A primary source is written by the person who originated or is responsible for generating the ideas published.
Although a thesaurus provides the writer with a selection of words, it is not a source for the study. The correct answer is A report of a study written by the researcher who did the study. A primary source is written by the person who originated or is responsible for generating the ideas published.
