Characteristics of a good research topic includes all but one of the following

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A good research topic should be clear, measurable, and relational. 'Must have at least one variable,' is correct as the exception because a topic may broadly identify an area without specifying variables initially (e.g., Nurse burnout'), per research design (e.g., Leedy & Ormrod). 'Must state relationship between variables,' ensures focus. 'Must be clear and unambiguous,' aids understanding. 'Variables must be measurable,' ensures testability. Topics can start general, refining variables later, making D the least essential trait.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The anterior pituitary secretes trophic hormones regulating growth and glands, but oxytocin comes from the posterior pituitary. 'Oxytocin,' is correct as the exception, per endocrinology references like Costanzo's Physiology. 'Growth hormone,' stimulates growth. 'Prolactin,' promotes lactation. 'Adrenocorticotrophic hormone,' targets adrenals. Oxytocin, stored and released by the posterior pituitary after hypothalamic synthesis, aids labor and lactation, making C the precise answer, distinct from anterior pituitary functions.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The suspensory ligament of the ovary (infundibulopelvic ligament) anchors it to the pelvic wall, carrying vessels. 'Suspensory ligament,' is correct, per anatomy texts like Moore, distinct from other supports. 'Broad ligament,' encloses tubes and ovaries, not a direct anchor. 'Ovarian ligament,' connects ovary to uterus. 'Round ligament,' supports the uterus. The suspensory ligament's pelvic attachment makes D the accurate answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The kidney excretes nitrogenous wastes from protein metabolism. 'Carbon dioxide,' is correct as the exception, expelled by lungs, per physiology (e.g., Guyton). 'Urea,' 'Uric acid,' and 'Creatinine,' are renal excretions from amino acid and muscle breakdown. CO2's respiratory elimination contrasts with the kidney's nitrogenous waste role, making D the accurate answer.
