Rationale 1: This option would be examples of independent variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent variable.
Rationale 2: The dependent variable is the behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the researcher wishes to explain or predict. The independent variable is the presumed cause of or influence on the dependent variable. In this situation, the prediction is the success on NCLEX.
Rationale 3: This option would be examples of independent variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent variable.
Rationale 4: The option would be examples of independent variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent variable.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The research problem has significance if it has the potential to contribute to nursing science by enhancing client care, testing or generating a theory, or resolving a day-to-day clinical problem. If the adolescents are showing improved behavior, then these techniques have significance in enhancing client care.
Rationale 2: Researchability means that the problem can be subjected to scientific investigation, without ambiguity or uncertainty.
Rationale 3: Feasibility pertains to the time and material as well as human resources needed to investigate a problem or question.
