Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Qualitative research, like quantitative research, can be either cross-sectional, with one data collection point, or longitudinal, with multiple data collection points designed to observe the evolution of a phenomenon. Much qualitative research is not directly generalizable. Power analysis is performed solely in quantitative research. Field notes are an integral part of qualitative research.

Answer to Question 2

A, D
Feedback:
In qualitative research, the goal is to develop a rich understanding of a phenomenon, and most studies are retrospective. The elimination of extraneous variables and the maintaining of constancy of conditions are primarily undertaken in quantitative research, not in qualitative research.
