Which of the following statements most accurately describes methodologic research?
A) A distinctive process of planning, developing, testing, and disseminating interventions.
B) Systematic analysis of data from a previous study to gain new knowledge of a given phenomena
C) Investigation of new instrument development necessitated by the need for reliable outcome measures
D) Research that obtains quantitative information about the prevalence, distribution, and interrelations of variables within a population
C
Feedback:
Methodologic research entails investigations of the methods for conducting rigorous research. Methodologic studies address the development, validation, and evaluation of research tools or methods. Secondary analysis involves using data gathered in a previous study to address new questions. Intervention research is a distinctive process of planning, developing, testing, and disseminating interventions. A survey obtains quantitative information about the prevalence, distribution, and interrelations of variables within a population.

Which is the correct order for the steps that occur during the process of complement fixation for antigen destruction? 1 . Complements help in the formation of highly specialized antigen–antibody complexes. 2 . Complements become active. 3 . Specific cells are targeted. 4 . Complexes cause holes to develop in the cell membrane. 5 . Sodium and water flow into the cell, causing it to burst open A) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 B) 2, 1, 3, 4, 5 C) 3, 4, 1, 5, 2 D) 4, 3, 2, 5, 1
