Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: A single experimental study provides the second level of evidence.
Rationale 2: The first level is meta-analysis studies that provide evidence from multiple studies.
Rationale 3: Quasi-experimental studies provide the third level of evidence.
Rationale 4: This is the highest level of evidence in this hierarchy.

A
Feedback:
In some qualitative studies, the researcher adjusts the data collection as the data is collected and thus the need to obtain informed consent may change. The other answers are not valid reasons for using process consent.
