1. Reference: Ch. 1, Section: Change Theory and Learning
Question: An LPN/LVN is enrolled in an RN program and feels
overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, and school. They
decide to rearrange their schedule, dedicating specific evenings
to study. According to Kurt Lewin's change theory, which stage
does this represent?
Options:
A. Unfreezing
B. Moving
C. Refreezing
D. Transforming
Correct Answer: B. Moving
Rationale:
• Correct: The "Moving" stage involves implementing new
strategies or behaviors to facilitate change, such as
adjusting one's schedule to incorporate studying.
• Incorrect A: "Unfreezing" is the initial stage where one
recognizes the need for change but has not yet taken new
actions.
, • Incorrect C: "Refreezing" occurs after the change is
integrated, stabilizing the new behavior as a norm.
• Incorrect D: "Transforming" is not a stage in Lewin's three-
stage model of change.
Teaching Point: Moving is the active implementation of
change strategies.

2. Reference: Ch. 1, Section: Change Theory and Learning
Question: An LPN/LVN considering returning to school identifies
"higher earning potential" as a driving force and "tuition costs"
as a restraining force. This analysis is based on which aspect of
Kurt Lewin's change theory?
Options:
A. Unfreezing, moving, and refreezing
B. Force field analysis
C. Experiential learning cycle
D. Cognitive dissonance theory
Correct Answer: B. Force field analysis
Rationale:
• Correct: Force field analysis evaluates the driving forces
that promote change and restraining forces that hinder it.
• Incorrect A: These are the stages of change, not the
analysis of forces.
• Incorrect C: This relates to learning through experience,
not change analysis.
, • Incorrect D: This theory involves psychological discomfort
from conflicting beliefs.
Teaching Point: Force field analysis helps identify barriers
and facilitators to change.

3. Reference: Ch. 1, Section: Change Theory and Learning
Question: An LPN/LVN has successfully completed their first
semester in an RN program. Their new study routine now feels
like a natural part of their week. Which stage of Lewin's change
theory does this exemplify?
Options:
A. Unfreezing
B. Moving
C. Refreezing
D. Transforming
Correct Answer: C. Refreezing
Rationale:
• Correct: Refreezing stabilizes the change, making the new
behavior part of the routine.
• Incorrect A: Unfreezing involves recognizing the need for
change.
• Incorrect B: Moving is the active stage of change.
• Incorrect D: Transforming is not part of Lewin's model.
Teaching Point: Refreezing solidifies new behaviors into
, habits.

Learning Process
4. Reference: Ch. 1, Section: Change Theory and Learning
Question: An LPN/LVN student prefers to observe a skill,
understand its theory, and then practice it. This student's
learning style aligns most closely with which component of
Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory?
Options:
A. Concrete experience
B. Abstract conceptualization
C. Active experimentation
D. Reflective observation
Correct Answer: B. Abstract conceptualization
Rationale:
• Correct: Abstract conceptualization involves understanding
the theory and concepts behind an action.
• Incorrect A: Concrete experience focuses on hands-on
doing.
• Incorrect C: Active experimentation emphasizes trying
things out.
• Incorrect D: Reflective observation involves watching and
reflecting.
