C. Eliminate the family activities and recreational activities.

D. Create a study group with some classmates and divide the course work.

ANS: A

Feedback: Counseling services to help students make adjustments and solve problems may be available to
students. If so, they are often very helpful. This is preferable to reducing the courses the student is taking or
eliminating family and recreational activities, which are beneficial in stress management. Study groups can be
helpful, but they are not intended to divide course work.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 5, Personal Adjustments OBJ:
1 NAT: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity

TOP: Chapter 1 KEY: Integrated Process: Caring BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply NOT:
Multiple Choice




2) A nursing student will soon begin a new course with a new instructor. When encountering a new instructor
for the first time, the student should:

A. compliment the instructor on his or her knowledge and skills.

B. try to get to know the instructor as much as possible.

C. remain silent until the instructor reveals his or her expectations.

D. ask as many questions as possible so that the instructor notices the student.

ANS: B

Feedback: Every instructor is different, and it is beneficial to get to know each instructor’s style, personality,
and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering personal compliments to the instructor or
asking questions for the purpose of becoming known. At the same time, a student should not be completely
silent at the start of a course.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 6, Program Structure OBJ:
1 NAT: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity

TOP: Chapter 1 KEY: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation BLM:
Cognitive Level: Apply NOT: Multiple Choice




3) A student has just begun a nursing program and is committed to success. When creating a schedule for
the school term, what should the student do?

A. Make sure that recreation is prioritized over school work.

B. Spread out school work evenly between all 7 days of the week.

C. Ensure a balance between school activities and personal life.

D. Put off family activities until the midterm break.

ANS: C

Feedback: A good schedule should be realistic and balanced. To get the most from the program and still have
time for a personal life, the student should make a schedule that fits the time available, not how much time the
student wishes was available. This does not mean that school work should suffer because of personal activities,
however. It is often helpful to schedule days off rather than studying every day of the week.

PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: p. 7, Scheduling Your Time OBJ:
1

NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter 1
KEY: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation BLM:
Cognitive Level: Apply NOT: Multiple Choice

4) When learning how to assess clients’ health, a student has found that the most beneficial learning technique
was watching an online video in which an experienced nurse demonstrated how to conduct an assessment.
Which is this student’s most likely learning style?

A. Tactile

B. Visual

C. Auditory

D. Kinesthetic

ANS: B

Feedback: Visual learners learn best by watching things such as videos, movies, and demonstrations. Tactile
and kinesthetic learners benefit from touch. Auditory learners prefer to hear information.

PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: p. 9, Applying Your Learning Style OBJ: 3
NAT: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity

TOP: Chapter 1 KEY: Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning BLM:
Cognitive Level: Analyze NOT: Multiple Choice




5) A nursing student is aware of the importance of critical thinking, especially in clinical situations. When
applying the principles of critical thinking to a situation, the student should begin by asking:

A. “What did I do the last time I encountered a similar situation?”

B. “Why do I need to act in this situation?”

C. “What are the consequences of making the wrong decision in this situation?”

D. “What are the facts that I know about this situation?”

ANS: D

Feedback: A useful starting point for the critical thinking process is to determine the facts about the situation.
This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is likely not helpful to ask what could
possibly go wrong.

PTS: 1 DIF: Difficult REF: p. 17, Developing Critical Thinking Skills OBJ: 4

NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care
