7. When`a`class`of`nursing`students`discusses`their`concerns`about`their`program,`the`concern`
shared`by`most`learners`is`generally`the`fear`of
a. succeeding.
b. economic`problems.
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS:` C
Some`degree`of`fear`of`failure`is`nearly`universal`and`often`relates`to`earlier`failures`or`setbac
ks`the`learner`has`experienced`in`other`educational`settings.`Few`individuals`are`afraid`of`suc
ceeding.`Uncertainty`about`economic`issues`is`common`among`students`but`is`not`as`univers
al`as`fear`of`failure.`Fear`of`ridicule`is`rarely`a`concern;`if`present,`it`is`usually`superseded`by`
fear`of`failure.
