Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Investigator triangulation is conceptually analogous to inter-rater reliability in quantitative studies. Content validity is a term used in quantitative research that refers to the degree to which items in an instrument actually measure the intended concept. Construct validity in quantitative research refers to the validity of inferences gleaned from the study setting or an instrument used in the study in measuring the construct under investigation. Internal consistency in quantitative research refers to the degree to which sub-parts of a scale or instrument measure the same attribute or dimension.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Member checking can lead to erroneous conclusions about the data if the participants withhold information or desire to cover up the truth about a phenomenon. An audit trail is a systematic collection of materials and documentation that would allow an independent auditor to draw conclusions about the researcher's interpretation of the data and is a good tool for enhancing the trustworthiness of data. Reflexivity refers to the awareness and personal experience and insight that the researcher brings to the study. Data triangulation refers to the use of multiple sources to draw conclusions about what constitutes truth in the data.
