A nurse doing qualitative research has approached an individual about participation in the study. The person says, "I don't mind being in your study, but I do not want to be identified." Which response, by the nurse researcher, is indicated?
1. "I will interview you, so I will know what you said."
2. "Your responses will be totally anonymous."
3. "I can guarantee partial privacy."
4. "My study design does not allow for information to be confidential."

Rationale 1: The researcher will be aware of the identity of the study participants and will be able to link data with those participants because much of the work is done by interview. The researcher must be very careful to maintain confidentiality.
Rationale 2: Anonymity cannot be maintained because the researcher who has conducted personal interviews will know how the participants responded.
Rationale 3: Partial privacy is not a level of confidentiality. This statement does not indicate who will be able to link the participant with comments.
Rationale 4: Qualitative studies should maintain the patient's confidentiality.
