Question 9

Assess the clinical research model in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

Accepted Answer

The clinical research model has several advantages, including the ability to gather high-quality data through controlled experiments and clinical trials. This data can then be used to develop new treatments and interventions for various medical conditions. Additionally, clinical research allows for the testing of new drugs and medical devices, which can lead to advancements in healthcare and improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, the rigorous methodology of clinical research helps to ensure the safety and efficacy of new treatments before they are introduced to the market.

However, there are also some disadvantages to the clinical research model. One major drawback is the high cost associated with conducting clinical trials, which can limit the ability of researchers to pursue certain lines of inquiry. Additionally, the strict regulatory requirements and ethical considerations involved in clinical research can lead to delays in the development and approval of new treatments. Furthermore, there is a risk of bias in clinical research, as the results may be influenced by factors such as the selection of study participants and the design of the study itself.

In conclusion, while the clinical research model offers many benefits in terms of generating valuable medical knowledge and improving patient care, it also comes with certain challenges and limitations that need to be carefully considered and addressed.

Accepted Answer

A)  the clinical-research model forces an explicit consideration of assumptions.
B)  it increases rationality in selecting treatments.
C)  it provides solid evidence whether or not the client has benefited from treatment.
D)  all of the answers represent effects that work to reduce resistance.E) C) and D)
F) B) and D)

Question 11

The clinical research model:

Accepted Answer

A)  is a theoretical orientation yet to be put to use in practice.
B)  merges research with practice.
C)  utilizes single-system designs.
D)  merges research with practice, and utilizes single-system designs.E) None of the above
F) B) and C)

Question 12

In single-system research, the criterion that determines whether a treatment is considered experimentally effective is:

Accepted Answer

A)  client goals have been fully achieved.
B)  there is pronounced improvement in a client's condition.
C)  ultimate goals have not been achieved.
D)  client goals have been fully achieved and pronounced improvement in a client's condition, together, define experimental effectiveness.E) None of the above
F) B) and C)

Question 13

Which of the following types of paper and pencil instruments should be avoided for single-system design applications

Accepted Answer

A)  rapid assessment instruments
B)  projective tests such as the Rorschach Inkblot and Thematic Apperception Test
