Answer 1

21, Mixed method Research design we can analyze both quantitative and qualitative data..When there is data source not adequate and need more research, the source not adequate and need more research, the source has multi-phases when we use mixed research design..
In this mixed method research convergent design useful for understanding or develop the research problem from different complementary data, and for validation purpose this convergent method useful to compare the data..In convergent design when we validating both quantitative and qualitative data at the same time it helps to collect additional data..
In sequential design method it will be useful for qualitative approach to explain quantitative results and to guide the groups based quantitative results..it is a two-phase design at different time, usually quantitative data collection make priority..
22, Ethnographic research is a type of quantitative research its valuable gathering in observation,interviews and document data it produce detailed and comprehensive for different soical setup..in medical practice it make useful function and in difficulties it helps preparation medical students for difficult practice..ethnographic research with the detailed and comprehensive with action , behaviour, interaction,beliefs..but it differ from other form of qualitative research like phenomenology.
Question 3
31, Source used
Sources means systematically what information or ideas you are identified and from where that information comes from, citing the original source helps to locate where the information was come from under what and it help to evaluate the research..
Relevance:
In high qualitative research practice relevance used in both research and development activites..It is relevant term related to some other source..
Recentness:
It is a random number particularly used to make sure the freshness of some recent research or evidence in data source..In qualitative and quantitative studies recentness data provide helps to make a evidence based randomized research..
