def whatever
    if params[:good] == 'yes'
      render :good_result and return
    else
      response.status= 404
      render :bad_result and return
    end
  end

Since you have 2 separate view files, good_result.html.erb and
bad_result.html.erb, you can put whatever's appropriate in them.

Keep logic out of your views as much as possible.
