Answer to Question 1

C
Qualitative research offers analysis of interviews, observations, and/or surveys to measure people's perceptions, feelings, or views of phenomena about which little is known. Randomized trial has participants divided into groups to test for the same outcome to determine if there is a difference in the effect of a treatment or intervention compared with a standard of care. A case control study compares patients who have a disease or outcome of interest with patients who do not have the disease or outcome. The researcher looks back to compare how frequently the ex-posure to a risk factor is present in each group to determine the relationship between the risk factor and disease. If quantitative data such as physical measurements and scores on surveys are collected, statistical results from the study are explained. Quantitative data do not focus on per-ceptions and feelings.

Answer to Question 2

C
Health beliefs are a person's ideas and attitudes about health. Health promotion activities such as routine exercise and good nutrition help patients maintain or enhance their present levels of health and reduce their risks for developing certain diseases. Holistic health generally is a com-prehensive view of a person as a biopsychosocial and spiritual being. Health practices are activi-ties that individuals perform to care for themselves.
