Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
Qualitative content analysis involves breaking down data into smaller units, coding and naming the units according to the content they represent, and grouping coded material based on shared concepts. Collecting information on participants is not associated with the process of content analysis.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Some qualitative researchers use metaphors as an analytic strategy. A metaphor is a symbolic comparison, using figurative language to evoke a visual analogy. Management, conceptualization and constructivism are all valid components of qualitative analysis, but none constitutes an analytic strategy.
