Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The researcher will be aware of the identity of the study participants and will be able to link data with those participants since much of the work is done by interview. The researcher must be very careful to maintain confidentiality.
Rationale 2: Anonymity cannot be maintained because the researcher who has conducted personal interviews will know how the participants responded.
Rationale 3: Levels of privacy in nursing research are confidentiality and anonymity.
Rationale 4: The researcher must be very careful to maintain confidentiality.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: This is the appropriate consideration for whether saturation has been achieved. If no new themes or information are emerging, saturation has been reached.
Rationale 2: Qualitative studies do not have a set number of subjects. The researcher continues interviewing until saturation is reached.
Rationale 3: If the researcher is concerned that data are inaccurate because study subjects know one another or are comparing notes regarding the interviews, the issue at hand is the quality of all of the data, not if the data have achieved saturation.
Rationale 4: Data in a qualitative study are analyzed as they are collected. The researcher would not suspect that saturation has occurred unless the data had already been analyzed.
