br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



whelming. This student is anxious and unable to sleep. What action should the nursing stude

br br br br br br br br br br br br br



ailable to students. If so, they are often very helpful. This is preferable to reducing the courses t

2. A nursing student will soon begin a new course with a new instructor. When encountering a ne
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



w instructor for the first time, the student should:
br br br br br br br br



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



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



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



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




ANS: B b r



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



personality, and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering personal com
br br br br br br br br br br br br br



pliments to the instructor or asking questions for the purpose of becoming known. At the same t
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



ime, 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 sc
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br

br br br br br br br br

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




ANS: C b r




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



and still have time for a personal life, the student should make a schedule that fits the time availa
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



ble, not how much time the student wishes was available. This does not mean that school work
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



should suffer because of personal activities, however. It is often helpful to schedule days off rat
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



her than studying every day of the week.

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



ng technique was watching an online video in which an experienced nurse demonstrated how to
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



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



A. Tactile

br br br br br br br br br br br br br

br br br br br br br br br br br br br



ormation.

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



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



y asking: br



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



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



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



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




ANS: D b r



Feedback: A useful starting point for the critical thinking process is to determine the facts abou
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



t the situation. This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is likely not hel
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br



pful to ask what could possibly go wrong.
