Fatigue is the I component (intervention, influence, or exposure) in the question, Does fatigue affect agitation in cognitively impaired elders? In the other answers, fatigue is one of the other components.

Answer to Question 2

1,3
Rationale 1: The technique described tests stability, reliability, or test-retest reliability. By testing a group and then retesting them with the same instrument, the researcher is testing the instrument's consistency over time.
Rationale 2: Parallel forms reliabilityoccurs when two forms of the same instrument are compared.
Rationale 3: The technique described tests stability, reliability, or test-retest reliability. By testing a group and then retesting them with the same instrument, the researcher is testing the instrument's consistency over time.
Rationale 4: Alternate forms reliabilityoccurs when two forms of the same instrument are compared.
Rationale 5: The researcher administers both tests, so there is no interrater reliability tested.
