Traditional adult learners are individuals who come to the educational program directly from high
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
school or another program of study. They are usually in their late teens or early 20s. The learner who
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
has been out of school for many years and the learner who has children and grandchildren would
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
be identified as a returning adult learner. The learner who knows the routine of education does not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

2. A student enrolled in an LPN/LVN program states, “I’m fresh out of high school and living

alone for the first time in my life. I’m learning how to take care of myself as well as learning to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

Traditional adult learners are individuals who are in their late teens or early 20s who have come
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
to the practical/vocational program directly from high school or another program of study. A
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
returning adult learner is someone who has been out of school for several years. A person in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
having areas that need improvement. This student is a traditional adult learner, and traditional

adult learners are accustomed to formal education.

3. A nursing student states, “I have taken advantage of informal learning experiences.” Another
v v v v v v v v v v v v
student asks, “Could you give me an example?” The best example of an informal learning
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
experience is
v v
a. caring for a disabled family member. v v v v v
b. taking a continuing education course. v v v v
c. enrolling in an academic program. v v v v
d. attending credit classes at the mall. v v v v v
ANS: A v
Informal learning experiences are those that take place outside a formal educational setting. A
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
person who cares for a disabled family member would gain knowledge and skill in providing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
personal care. An education course, academic program, and credited classes all take place in a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
formal educational setting.

5. An example of a self-talk “script” that promotes success in a practical/vocational nursing
v v v v v v v v v v v v
v program is v
a. “I get sick from smelling bad odors.”
v v v v v v
b. “What if I’m ‘all thumbs’ in practice lab?” v v v v v v v
c. “I don’t think the instructor likes me.”
v v v v v v
d. “I work well with my hands.”
v v v v v
ANS: D v
The statement “I work well with my hands” is a positive thought. It focuses on a strength and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
promotes the expectation that the individual will succeed. All other options are examples of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
negative thinking that create expectations for problems and failure.

7. When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern

v v v v v v v v
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems. v
c. failure.
d. ridicule.

Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or setbacks
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the learner has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is not as
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
superseded by fear of failure.
