Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Qualitative research tends to assume that each researcher brings a unique perspective to the study. Confirmability refers to the degree to which the results could be confirmed or corroborated by others. There are a number of strategies for enhancing confirmability. The researcher can actively search for and describe negative instances that contradict prior observations. After the study, a researcher can conduct a data audit that examines the data collection and analysis procedures and makes judgments about the potential for bias or distortion. Additionally, triangulation of data can be a useful tool to demonstrate confirmability.
