Ethical considerations
According to (Patton, 2006) the major theme behind integrity is to obtain the credibility and trustworthiness of qualitative data. The bottom-line is the researcher must be trustworthy with data and the process used to obtain information. As the research evolves external and internal

Furthermore the researcher must ensure that the participant has a full understanding of the method, risks, and the time needed to conduct the study (Patton, 2006). The signed consent involves the procedure by which an individual may choose whether or not to participate in a study. The participant must be informed of their right to right to withdraw from participating in the study if the need arises. The two forms of consent are direct and substitute. Direct consent is obtained directly from the person the preferred and is the preferred method. Substitute consent, or third-party consent, is the access granted by a person or persons not identified to participate in in the
