Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most advantageous research design, because it obtains more reliable information and can more easily establish a stronger temporal relationship between presumed causal factors and their effects, is a longitudinal cohort prospective study. A cross-sectional study examines relationships between potential causal factors and disease at a specific time. A descriptive study focuses on the amount and distribution of health and health problems within a population. A prospective study monitors a group of disease-free individuals to determine if and when disease occurs. A retrospective study compares individuals with a particular condition or disease with those who do not have the disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Institute of Medicine report related that millions of U.S. adults are unable to read and act on health instructions and messages. Among the recommendations is a need for clear communication with clients. Because the underlying issue may be reading, the other responses are not appropriate suggestions for this nurse-client interaction.
