Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Individual RCTs are the highest level of evidence or gold standard for research. A peer-reviewed article means that a panel of experts has reviewed the article; this is not a research method. Qualitative research is valuable in identifying information about how patients cope with or manage various health problems and their perceptions of illness. It does not usually have the robustness of an RCT. Expert opinion is on the bottom of the hierarchical pyramid of evidence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The introduction contains information about its purpose and the importance of the topic to the audience who reads the article. The literature review or background offers a detailed background of the level of science or clinical information about the topic of the article. The methods or design section explains how a research study was organized and conducted. The results or conclusion section details the results of the study and explains whether a hypothesis is supported.
