Does being creative in doing science mean that a scientist should make things up why?

No, because if he made things up it would be not true.
For example, science definition: knowledge about or study of the natural world based on (facts) learned through experiments and observation. Key word facts. But you could propose a theory, for ex: Einsteins Theory of Relativity. But in return you would have to back it up with true information/facts.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
