The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process to the student. The learner has the right to
defend him- or herself if charged with a violation of program policy or rules. The other
statements are not the most effective responses to give a student concerned with being
unfairly dismissed.

10. A nursing student monopolizes class discussions. Which statement about the situation is most
accurate?
a. The student is violating the rights of others to participate in class.
b. The student is demonstrating interdependency with the instructor.
c. The student is demonstrating passive learning strategies.
d. The student is at risk for being immediately terminated.
ANSWER: A
The First Amendment provides the right to freedom of speech as long as what is said does not
disrupt the class or infringe on the rights of other students. In this case, the student who
monopolizes discussion is violating the right of free expression by others in the class.
Interdependency involves a student who is actively involved in his or her own learning and
who has a collaborative relationship with the instructor. A passive learner is someone who is
not actively involved in his or her own learning. The Fourteenth Amendment assures the
student due process, meaning that first the student must be charged with a violation and
presented with evidence of misconduct. The student will be entitled to state his or her case.

11. Which remark by a student in a nursing program verbalizes a strategy that promotes success in
the program?
a. “I set goals and work to achieve them.”
b. “I avoid interacting with instructors.”
c. “I spend 2 to 3 hours daily surfing the net.”
d. “I limit my partying to 3 to 4 nights a week.”
ANSWER: A
Setting goals and working to implement them is a strategy associated with active, self-directed
learning and will promote success. The other responses refer to behaviors that are not
conducive to success, such as avoiding the facilitators of your learning (instructors) and
demonstrating poor time management skills.
