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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.

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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.

3. A student has just begun a nursing program and is committed to success. When
creating a schedule for the school term, what should the student do?
A. Make sure that recreation is prioritized over school work.
B. Spread out school work evenly between all 7 days of the week.
C. Ensure a balance between school activities and personal life.
D. Put off family activities until the midterm break.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Feedback: A good schedule should be realistic and balanced. To get the most from the
program and still have time for a personal life, the student should make a schedule that
fits the time available, not how much time the student wishes was available. This does
not mean that school work should suffer because of personal activities, however. It is
often helpful to schedule days 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 learning technique was watching an online video in which an experienced
nurse demonstrated how to conduct an assessment. Which is this student‘s most likely
learning style?
A. Tactile
B. Visual
C. Auditory
D. Kinesthetic
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Feedback: Visual learners learn best by watching things such as videos, movies, and
demonstrations. Tactile and kinesthetic learners benefit from touch. Auditory learners
prefer to hear information.

student should begin by asking:
A. ―What did I do the last time I encountered a similar situation?‖
B. ―Why do I need to act in this situation?‖
