Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Rigor involves discipline, adherence to detail, and strict accuracy to promote excellence in research. Precise measurement tools, a representative sample, and a tightly controlled study design contribute to the rigor of a study.
Aggressiveness, as long as it is consistent, would not relate to rigor of the study.
The process itself would not affect the rigor of a study.
The time frame would be unrelated to the rigor of the study.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Applied research involves research that is directly applicable to clinical practice.
Basic research is scientific investigation that involves the pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake.
Phenomenological research studies the lived experience of individuals' specific response to a given situation.
Quality assurance does not involve an effort to make results useful to other locations and/or situations.
