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

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

To Clinical Experience Safeguards Patients‟ Safety. If Students Fail, It Is Their Own Fault;
Students Have Responsibility For Their Own Learning. A Key Responsibility Of Learners Is
To Receive And Participate In Evaluation; It Plays An Important Role In Their Education
And Throughout Their Career. Instructors Are Responsible For Creating An Environment In
Which Learning Can Take Place, And A Critical Part Of This Is Being Available To Assist

b. The Student Who Argues Each Wrong Answer With The Instructor
c. The Student Who Tries To Understand Mistakes Made On The Test
d. The Student Who Appears Interested In The Test Results
Answer: C
, Tests Should Be Considered Learning Experiences. Learners Should Look At Tests With The
Goal Of Understanding Why Incorrect Answers Are Wrong, As Well As The Rationale For
Correct Answers. Looking At The Test Grade And Handing The Test And Answer Sheet
Back Are Not Optimal Learning Behaviors. Arguing Each Wrong Answer With The
Instructor Does Not Promote The Openness Required For Optimal Learning. Appearing

b. Peers Evaluate Change In Clinical Skills In Each Other In The Clinical Area.
c. The Student Continuously Monitors His Or Her Performance Of
Selected Clinical Skills.
d. Clinical Evaluation Is A Shared Responsibility Between Instructor And Student.

a. Assist The Learner To Identify Strengths And Areas Needing Improvement.
b. Provide Constructive Criticism Related To Poor Performance Behaviors.
c. Keep Unsuitable Persons From Achieving Licensure.
d. Help Learners Develop The Ability To Listen To Negative Comments About Performance.
Answer: A
Identifying Positive Behaviors Allows Them To Be Reinforced, And Identifying Areas
Needing Improvement Fosters Modification Of The Negative Behaviors. Providing
Constructive Criticism Related To Poor Performance Behaviors Refers To Only Half Of The
Purpose. Keeping Unsuitable Persons From Achieving Licensure Is Not The Purpose,
Because Early Identification And Change In Negative Behaviors Foster Ultimate Success In

c. “The Staff Nurse Was Abrupt With The Resident.”
d. “It Was Nice To Be Complimented By My Instructor.”
Answer: B

Sterile Technique During Performance Of A Clinical Skill Is An Excellent Example Of
Self-Evaluation. “The Other Student Forgot To Use A Bath Blanket” Describes
Evaluation Of One Student By
Another. “The Staff Nurse Was Abrupt With The Resident” Describes Evaluation Of A Staff

Patient Care
a. At The Level Of An Lpn/Lvn.”
b. With A Minimum Of Two Errors.”
c. At The Same Level As Your Classmates.”
d. With Manual Dexterity And Confidence.”
Answer: A
Students Are Required To Provide Care At The Same Level Of Safe Practice As The
Lpn/Lvn. A Lesser Standard Is Not Acceptable. This Makes The Importance Of Skill
Practice In The School‟S Practice Laboratory Understandable. Errors May Affect Patient
Safety. Provision Of Patient Care At The Same Level As Classmates Is True Only If The
Level Of Classmates Is Consistent With Lpn/Lvn Safe Practice. Provision Of Patient Care
With Manual Dexterity And Confidence Does Not Provide For Safe Practice.

13. Which Statement Is True Regarding The Teaching/Learning
Process In Practical/Vocational Nursing?
a. If The Student Fails, The Instructor Is Ultimately At Fault.
b. By Asking Questions, The Student Interferes With The Instructor‟S Work.
c. The Student Has Little Responsibility When It Comes To Evaluation.
d. The Student Is Responsible For Preparing For Theory Classes And Clinical Experience.
Answer: D
Advance Preparation Provides A Basis For Continued Learning In The Classroom. It Provides
The Learner The Opportunity To Ask Relevant Questions About Theory. Preparation Prior
To Clinical Experience Safeguards Patients‟ Safety. If Students Fail, It Is Their Own Fault;
Students Have Responsibility For Their Own Learning. A Key Responsibility Of Learners Is
To Receive And Participate In Evaluation; It Plays An Important Role In Their Education
And Throughout Their Career. Instructors Are Responsible For Creating An Environment In
Which Learning Can Take Place, And A Critical Part Of This Is Being Available To Assist
With Questions And Problems That Students Cannot Solve.

Learning And Have An Interdependent Relationship With The Instructor. Absorbing The
Knowledge Taught By The Instructor Describes Passive Learning. Studying Only What The
Instructor Emphasizes In Class And Focusing On Learning 65% Of The Information That Is
Taught Are Approaches That Severely Limit Learning; Students Must Be Self-Directed And
Curious In Their Learning.

Of Performance. Evaluations Should Not Lower Self-Esteem, Ridicule The Student, Or Point
Out Behaviors The Instructor Finds Annoying As These Will Not Help The Student Attain
His Or Her Goal.

18. Which Learner Is Fulfilling An Important Student Responsibility When
Receiving Examination Results?
a. The Student Who Looks At The Test Grade And Hands The Test And Answer Sheet Back
b. The Student Who Argues Each Wrong Answer With The Instructor
c. The Student Who Tries To Understand Mistakes Made On The Test
d. The Student Who Appears Interested In The Test Results
Answer: C
, Tests Should Be Considered Learning Experiences. Learners Should Look At Tests With The
Goal Of Understanding Why Incorrect Answers Are Wrong, As Well As The Rationale For
Correct Answers. Looking At The Test Grade And Handing The Test And Answer Sheet
Back Are Not Optimal Learning Behaviors. Arguing Each Wrong Answer With The
Instructor Does Not Promote The Openness Required For Optimal Learning. Appearing
Interested In The Test Results Does Not Promote Learning.

Hinder Goal Attainment. The Other Options Do Not Address Responsibility; They Are Ways
An Instructor Or Student Can Identify Strong Behaviors And Behaviors That Need
Improvement.

20. Learner A Is Concerned About The Clinical Evaluation Component Of The Nursing
Program. Apeer Could Help Alleviate Anxiety By Explaining That The Purpose Of
Clinical Evaluation Is To
a. Assist The Learner To Identify Strengths And Areas Needing Improvement.
b. Provide Constructive Criticism Related To Poor Performance Behaviors.
c. Keep Unsuitable Persons From Achieving Licensure.
d. Help Learners Develop The Ability To Listen To Negative Comments About Performance.
Answer: A
Identifying Positive Behaviors Allows Them To Be Reinforced, And Identifying Areas
Needing Improvement Fosters Modification Of The Negative Behaviors. Providing
Constructive Criticism Related To Poor Performance Behaviors Refers To Only Half Of The
Purpose. Keeping Unsuitable Persons From Achieving Licensure Is Not The Purpose,
Because Early Identification And Change In Negative Behaviors Foster Ultimate Success In
The Program. Helping Learners Develop The Ability To Listen To Negative Comments
About Performance Is Not A Purpose Of The Clinical Performance Evaluation.

21. Which Statement By A Nursing Student Is An Example Of Self-Evaluation?
a. “The Other Student Forgot To Use A Bath Blanket.”
, b. “I Contaminated My Glove On The Edge Of The Bed.”
c. “The Staff Nurse Was Abrupt With The Resident.”
d. “It Was Nice To Be Complimented By My Instructor.”
Answer: B
Awareness Of One‟S Actions Is A Component Of Self-Evaluation. Noticing A Breach Of
Sterile Technique During Performance Of A Clinical Skill Is An Excellent Example Of
Self-Evaluation. “The Other Student Forgot To Use A Bath Blanket” Describes
Evaluation Of One Student By
Another. “The Staff Nurse Was Abrupt With The Resident” Describes Evaluation Of A Staff
Nurse By Another Person. “It Was Nice To Be Complimented By My Instructor” Is A
Reflection Of Feelings Associated With Being Complimented, Not Self-Evaluation.

a. The Instructor Will Help Resolve The Student‟S Personal Problems.
b. The Instructor Will Motivate The Student To Improve Grades.
c. The Instructor Will Seek Out Students To Review Examinations.
d. The Instructor Will Provide Academic Counseling.
Answer: D
Providing Academic Counseling Or Making Referrals For Academic Counseling Is A
Responsibility Of Faculty Members. The Other Options Are Not Reasonable Expectations.
Only The Individual With The Problem Can Resolve It, Albeit With Assistance From
Another. Motivation Is An Internal Factor For The Student. It Is The Learner‟S

23. The Practical/Vocational Nursing Student Asks An Instructor, “How Perfect Do I Have
To Betopass My Clinical Evaluation? Are Any Mistakes Allowed?” The Best Response
By The
Instructor Is, “The Expected Standard Of Performance In Clinical Lab Is To Provide
Patient Care
a. At The Level Of An Lpn/Lvn.”
b. With A Minimum Of Two Errors.”
c. At The Same Level As Your Classmates.”
d. With Manual Dexterity And Confidence.”
Answer: A
Students Are Required To Provide Care At The Same Level Of Safe Practice As The
Lpn/Lvn. A Lesser Standard Is Not Acceptable. This Makes The Importance Of Skill
Practice In The School‟S Practice Laboratory Understandable. Errors May Affect Patient
Safety. Provision Of Patient Care At The Same Level As Classmates Is True Only If The
Level Of Classmates Is Consistent With Lpn/Lvn Safe Practice. Provision Of Patient Care
With Manual Dexterity And Confidence Does Not Provide For Safe Practice.
