No, this does not need to be reported because the subject had the heart attack when they were home, not at the focus group. b. No, this does not need to be reported because the subject recovered. c. No, this does not need to be reported because it is unrelated to participation in the study. d. No, this does not need to be reported because two weeks have passed.

Answer 2

Answer: C.No, this does not need to be reported since it is unrelated to participation in the study.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is obvious that the researcher's focus group aims to learn about attitudes towards hygiene and disease prevention. The occurrence of the heart attack is a variable not relevant to the objective of the study and it is not fit to be added to the report's context of study.
