CNE Competency 1 Exam Questions and
Answers
Active Learning Strategies - Correct Answers -Student centered with active engagement
by students in the learning process. Also called learner-centered teaching. This aligns
with the shift from behaviorism to constructivism in nursing education.
Gaps in knowledge means? - Correct Answers -Gap between what learners know and
what they need to know.
Learning styles are what? - Correct Answers -Methods by which a student perceives
and processes information.
High fidelity - Correct Answers -Complex computer systems with ability to change
physiology.
Kan and Stabler-Haas attributes of clinical nurse educators (CAP) - Correct Answers -C
- Consistent
A - Approachable
P - Proficient
Altruism - Correct Answers -Concern for the welfare and well-being of others.
Human Patient Simulator (HPS) - Correct Answers -Simulation that includes the use of
low-fidelity, mid fidelity, and high-fidelity manikins. The fidelity of the manikin determines
the complexity and realism of the manikin's capabilities.
Standardized Patient (SP) - Correct Answers -An actor who has been trained to portray
a patient in a consistent manner in a specific scenario portraying a medical condition, a
psychiatric disorder, and ethical situation, or any other health care situation.
Hybrid simulation - Correct Answers -Simulation that uses a combination of human
patient simulator (HPS) and standardized patient (SP) simulation. Ex - baby manikin is
being used as the patient and an SP is portraying the parent.
Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles Model - 5 Stimuli that affect learning - Correct Answers
-Environmental, emotional, sociological, physical, psychological
, Variables in implementing teaching strategies - Correct Answers -Content, setting,
learner needs, learning style, desired learning outcomes, method of delivery
Visual learning style likes what teaching strategies? - Correct Answers -Concept maps,
observing a skill, reading PPT slides.
Auditory learning style likes what teaching strategies? - Correct Answers -Lecture,
podcasting lecture; group discussion.
Tactile learning style likes what teaching strategies? - Correct Answers -Typing and
posting to a class wiki or discussion board.
Kinesthetic learning style likes what teaching strategies? - Correct Answers -Role play,
simulation
What are the perceptual preferences of students? - Correct Answers -Auditory, visual,
tactile, kinesthetic
The starting point for any teaching plan is the what? - Correct Answers -Learner
outcomes
It was found that it is not so much the method (F2F, sim, online, blended/hybrid) of
delivery but rather the quality of what that mattered? - Correct Answers -Instruction - it is
important to create strategies that not only facilitate learning of outcomes but also
promote connections (student-student, student-instructor) in all methods.
Behaviorism Learning Theory - Correct Answers -Learning is focused on consequences
and reinforcements. (Observable and measurable objectives and learning outcomes.
Learning experiences allowing for positive reinforcement with ongoing feedback).
Cognitivism Learning Theory - Correct Answers -Learning is focused on mental
processes and modifying cognitive structures to form new mental models. (Learning
strategies that teach students how to think and discover new meaning).
Constructivist Learning Theory - Correct Answers -Learner constructs new knowledge
from existing knowledge. (Sim, reflection, debrief). Active learning.
Social Learning Theory (Constructivist Learning Theory) - Correct Answers -Learning
though observation of others. (Sim, debrief)
Sociocultural Learning (Constructivist Learning Theory) - Correct Answers -Learning
through interaction with the expert with the expert eventually withdrawing support as a
student demonstrates mastery.
Situated Cognition (Constructivist Learning Theory) - Correct Answers -Learning occurs
in the context of real-world experience (actual nursing practice)
