question 16

Multiple Choice

The four levels of research, a main focus of this chapter, are related across a hierarchy where the lower levels support and inform the higher levels.

Which of the following best exemplifies this practice?

• A) Biology, a level 1 (descriptive) discipline, relies heavily on the medical profession (level 4 prescriptive) to identify needed areas of basic research.
• B) Chemistry, a level 4 (prescriptive) discipline, depends heavily on the pharmacy profession at level 1 (descriptive) to inform their basic research.
• C) Occupational therapy, at level 3 (predictive), borrows knowledge from physical therapy, a level 4 (prescriptive) profession, in its intervention research.
