D
Feedback:
The dependent (or outcome) variable is the behavior, characteristic, or outcome the researcher is interested in explaining, predicting, or affecting (the O in the PICO scheme). A rehabilitative nursing measure is the dependent variable. The independent variable is the presumed cause of or influence on the dependent variable. The independent variable is type of educational background of nursing, not a particular degree. The independent variable corresponds to the I and the C components in the PICO scheme.
