Hello Foysal,
I think that the response to this question really depends on your research question. If you are particularly interested in the documentation of the QA activities, then it would make sense to limit your sample to the facilities which had any QA activities, or the facilities which had any QA activities and said they had records of them. If you are interested in whether QA activities were implemented, then you would include all facilities. From the first line of your question you ask about creating a binary variable named "quality assurance activities". In my opinion, using the response from q440 would be appropriate for this kind of variable, and dropping any further questions about documentation.
The approach you are suggesting mixes two different categories of responses: "No documentation available" and "No QA activities held". I wouldn't recommend this approach, since these two categories are different and combining them may lead to incorrect estimates.
Best,
Sara
