TEST BANK FOR
Contemporary Practical/Vocational Nursing 9th Edition by Corinne Kurzen, Anna LaVon
Barrett
Chapter 1-16



Chapter 1, Adjusting to Student Life

1. The nursing student has found the first 2 weeks of the nursing program fascinating but
overwhelming. This student is anxious and unable to sleep. What action should the nursing
student take to address these feelings?
A. Utilize the counseling services available at the college.
B. Reduce the course load.
C. Eliminate the family activities and recreational activities.
D. Create a study group with some classmates and divide the course work.
ANS: A
Feedback: Counseling services to help students make adjustments and solve problems may be
available to students. If so, they are often very helpful. This is preferable to reducing the
courses the student is taking or eliminating family and recreational activities, which are
beneficial in stress management. Study groups can be helpful, but they are not intended to
divide course work.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 5, Personal Adjustments
OBJ: 1 NAT: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity
TOP: Chapter 1 KEY: Integrated Process: Caring BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply

2. A nursing student will soon begin a new course with a new instructor. When encountering a
new instructor for the first time, the student should:
A. compliment the instructor on his or her knowledge and skills.
B. try to get to know the instructor as much as possible.
C. remain silent until the instructor reveals his or her expectations.
D. ask as many questions as possible so that the instructor notices the student.
ANS: B
Feedback: Every instructor is different, and it is beneficial to get to know each instructor‘s
style, personality, and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering
personal compliments to the instructor or asking questions for the purpose of becoming
known. At the same time, a student should not be completely silent at the start of a course.
