Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Confidentiality is the safe management of private information shared by a subject. The researcher must refrain from sharing that information without the authorization of the subject. Research findings need to be reported so that a subject or group of subjects cannot be identified.
Complete anonymity exists if the subject's identity cannot be linked, even by the researcher, with his or her individual responses.
Deception is deliberately not disclosing all aspects of the study to the subjects.
Informed consent means that the subject has been told about all aspects of the study including the risk/benefit ratio and agrees to participate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Complete anonymity exists if the subject's identity cannot be linked, even by the researcher, with his or her individual responses.
Confidentiality means that the researcher will not share any individual, identifiable information obtained from the subject.
Informed consent is the individual's permission to use information collected for purposes of the research.
The right to privacy is one of the human rights established by the National Research Act. Privacy ensures that the participant's information will not be shared to anyone by the researcher.
