focused clinical question - ✔✔ correct answer systematic review
summarizes a number of studies focused on a topic using a specific statistical methodology to synthesize
the findings in order to draw conclusions about the area of focus - ✔✔ correct answer meta-analysis
a focused review and synthesis of the lit on a specific area that follows specific steps of lit integration and
synthesis w/o statistical analysis - ✔✔ correct answer integrative review
