Question

VAIBHAVI GHATE · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The placebo effect is a psychological phenomenon in which a patient experiences a physical or emotional improvement in their condition after receiving a non-specific or inactive treatment. This can lead to inflated perceptions of the effectiveness of the therapy as the patient attributes their improvement to the therapy rather than the placebo effect. The other options (randomized clinical trials, evidence-based practice, and meta-analysis) are all scientifically rigorous methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies and are not likely to lead to inflated client perceptions.
