Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E, G
Research variables or concepts are the qualities, properties, or characteristics that are measured in qualitative studies and selected quantitative studies. Concrete concepts, such as temperature, weight, and blood pressure, are referred to as variables in a study; abstract concepts, such as creativity, empathy, and social support, are sometimes referred to as research concepts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An independent variable is a stimulus or activity that is manipulated or varied by the researcher to create an effect on the dependent variable. The independent variable is also called an intervention, treatment, or experimental variable. In this example, nausea and vomiting are dependent variables and guided imagery and relaxation techniques are independent variables.
