ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



rwhelming. This student is anxious and unable to sleep. What action should the nursing stud

ent take to address these feelings?

Feedback: Counseling services to help students make adjustments and solve problems may be a
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



vailable to students. If so, they are often very helpful. This is preferable to reducing the course
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



s the student is taking or eliminating family and recreational activities, which are beneficial in
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

2. A nursing student will soon begin a new course with a new instructor. When encountering a n
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ew instructor for the first time, the student should:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



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



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



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



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




ANS: B a p



Feedback: Every instructor is different, and it is beneficial to get to know each instructor‘s style,
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



personality, and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering personal co
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



mpliments to the instructor or asking questions for the purpose of becoming known. At the sa
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



me time, a student should not be completely silent at the start of a course.

3. A student has just begun a nursing program and is committed to success. When creating a s
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



chedule for the school term, what should the student do?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

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



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



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

, D. Put off family activities until the midterm break.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: C a p




Feedback: A good schedule should be realistic and balanced. To get the most from the progra
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



m and still have time for a personal life, the student should make a schedule that fits the time av
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ailable, not how much time the student wishes was available. This does not mean that school
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



work should suffer because of personal activities, however. It is often helpful to schedule days
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



off rather than studying every day of the week.

4. When learning how to assess clients‘ health, a student has found that the most beneficial learn
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ing technique was watching an online video in which an experienced nurse demonstrated how t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



o conduct an assessment. Which is this student‘s most likely learning style?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



A. Tactile
B. Visual

ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



trations. Tactile and kinesthetic learners benefit from touch. Auditory learners prefer to hear i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nformation.

5. A nursing student is aware of the importance of critical thinking, especially in clinical situati
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ons. When applying the principles of critical thinking to a situation, the student should begin
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



by asking: ap



A. ―What did I do the last time I encountered a similar situation?‖ ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



B. ―Why do I need to act in this situation?‖ ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



C. ―What are the consequences of making the wrong decision in this situation?‖
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



D. ―What are the facts that I know about this situation?‖ ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: D a p



Feedback: A useful starting point for the critical thinking process is to determine the facts abo
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ut the situation. This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is likely not
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



helpful to ask what could possibly go wrong.
