Answer to Question 1

D
A person who has a strong fear of losing control, or who has experienced sensations of loss of control, may perceive meditation as a form of mind control and thus may be resistant to learning the technique. Some clients are sensitive to meditation and require shorter sessions than the typ-ical 15 to 20 minutes.
A benefit of most biobehavioural therapies, such as meditation, is that it reduces irritability. Ag-gression is an unlikely response.
Delusions are not a result of biobehavioural therapies.
Many biobehavioural therapies, such as meditation, reduce insomnia.

Answer to Question 2

B
A level II question such as What is the relationship between ethnicity and suicide among univer-sity students? explores the relationship between two variables.
The question What are the health-promoting behaviours of older adults living in subsidized housing? is a level I question, which is used when little is known about the topic. These basic questions typically begin with the word what.
When the researcher uses a level III question such as Why does postoperative anxiety decrease when structured preoperative teaching is done?, he or she must explain why a specific variable causes a specific change in another variable.
The questions What is the experience of people who assume the role of surrogate decision mak-ers? is a level I question.
