Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The main reason for the exclusion of qualitative studies in the review of literature for evidence-based practice is that the criteria for judging the quality of such studies are not well documented.
This is a true statement, but not the reason for lack of inclusion of all qualitative studies. The main reason for the exclusion of qualitative studies in the review of literature for evidence-based practice is that the criteria for judging the quality of such studies are not well documented.
There is rigor in qualitative studies; it is just different from quantitative ones. The main reason for the exclusion of qualitative studies in the review of literature for evidence-based practice is that the criteria for judging the quality of such studies are not well documented.
Although this may be true depending on one's opinion, it is not the reason that qualitative studies are not included. The main reason for the exclusion of qualitative studies in the review of literature for evidence-based practice is that the criteria for judging the quality of such studies are not well documented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The emic approach involves studying behaviors from within a culture.
Phenomenological research attempts to capture the lived experience of study participants. The emic approach involves studying behaviors from within a culture.
The etic perspective studies behaviors from outside the culture and examines similarities and differences across cultures. (The emic approach involves studying behaviors from within a culture.) The ethnographic approach looks at groups, not individual behaviors.
Bracketing and intuiting are techniques used rather than the focus of a study. The emic approach involves studying behaviors from within a culture.
