Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Confidentiality is more difficult in reporting qualitative research in which data from interviews are quoted as part of the results.
There is no reason to believe that the difference in language would lead to a breach in confidentiality.
All researchers need to respect confidentiality, but with secondary data, it is perhaps less likely to be an issue. The correct answer is A. Confidentiality is more difficult in reporting qualitative research in which data from interviews are quoted as part of the results.

The risks and benefits to participating in the study is a key element in an informed consent.
