In regard to latent terms, how is “positionality” defined? A. How the researcher’s motivation, role, position, identity, power, and voice all impact conducting qualitative research. B. Patterns identified and developed later in the analytic process, building on and representing the outcome of the coding. C. The process of a continual internal dialogue and critical self-evaluation of the researcher’s positionality as well as an active acknowledgment and explicit recognition that this position may affect the research process and outcome. D. Diversity of knowledge and skills required by sonographers.

According to the information presented in Table 3, how should sonographers develop their training skills? A. Development and facilitation of student orientations, preceptorships, and becoming an advisory board member for sonography education programs. B. It is necessary to continuously stay up to date with the latest standards and guidelines. C. Sonography programs can be further developed to include computers and televised lectures. D. The collaborative proficiency between the person capturing the images and the interpreting physician led to a successful diagnosis for patients.
How is “triangulation” defined? A. A method to increase the credibility and validity of research findings. B. Patterns identified and developed later in the analytic process, building on and representing the outcome of the coding. C. Diversity of knowledge and skills required by sonographers. D.
