Answer 1

METHODOLOGY:

a comparative study to assess the effectiveness of long-acting inhalers with oral medication in clients with asthma in the control group and experiment group.

1. selection of research approach:

control group 1 and control group 2

from that 1 experimental group and one control group receive pre-test and all four groups receive a post-test.

to assess the effect of independent variables like long-acting inhaler (antiinflammatory) and oral medication(antiinflammatory) on dependent variables.

R O1--------------X------------------O2

R O3----------------------------------O4

R ------------------X-----------------O5

R -------------------------------------O6

• R= randomised group
• O1,O3= pre-test
• X= treatment
• O2, O4,O5,O6=post-test

Sampling: random sampling and all variables with clients having asthma
