,Chapter 01: Personal Resources of an Adult Learner Knecht:
Success in Practical/Vocational Nursing, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which individual in a practical/vocational nursing class would be identified as a traditional
adult learner?
a. One who has been out of school for many years
b. One who has children and grandchildren
c. One who knows the routine of education
d. One who is in his or her early 20s
ANS: D
Traditional adult learners are individuals who come to the educational program directly
from high school or another program of study. They are usually in their late teens or early
20s. The learner who has been out of school for many years and the learner who has
children and grandchildren would be identified as a returning adult learner. The learner
who knows the routine of education does not provide sufficient information for
classification.
2. A student enrolled in an LPN/LVN program states, “I’m fresh out of high school and living
alone for the first time in my life. I’m learning how to take care of myself as well as learning
to care for my patients.” This statement identifies the student as
a. a traditional adult learner.
b. a returning adult learner.
c. someone in need of counseling.
d. someone who is not accustomed to formal education.
ANS: A
Traditional adult learners are individuals who are in their late teens or early 20s who have
come to the practical/vocational program directly from high school or another program of
study. A returning adult learner is someone who has been out of school for several years. A
person in needed of counseling is commonly a student who has been evaluated by the
instructor as having areas that need improvement. This student is a traditional adult learner,
and traditional adult learners are accustomed to formal education.
3. A student states, “I have taken advantage of informal learning experiences.” Another
student asks, “Could you give me an example?” The best example of an informal learning
experience is
a. caring for a disabled family member.
b. taking a continuing education course.
c. enrolling in an academic program.
d. attending credit classes at the mall.
, ANS: A
Informal learning experiences are those that take place outside a formal educational setting.
A person who cares for a disabled family member would gain knowledge and skill in
providing personal care. An education course, academic program, and credited classes all
take place in a formal educational setting.
4. What strategy can be used by a student to effectively combat a fear of failure?
a. Picture in your mind the rewards of succeeding
b. Positive self-talk
c. Create a mental script of positive thoughts
d. All of the above
ANS: D
Picturing the rewards of succeeding, positive self-talk, and a mental script of positive
thoughts all contribute a positive mental attitude and are all ways to combat the fear of
failure.
5. An example of a self-talk “script” that promotes success in a practical/vocational
program is
a. “I get sick from smelling bad odors.”
b. “What if I’m ‘all thumbs’ in practice lab?”
c. “I don’t think the instructor likes me.”
d. “I work well with my hands.”
ANS: D
The statement “I work well with my hands” is a positive thought. It focuses on a strength and
promotes the expectation that the individual will succeed. All other options are examples of
negative thinking that create expectations for problems and failure.
6. Select the factor common to ALL types of adult learners that predisposes them to success in
a program.
a. They have few responsibilities at home.
b. They have the motivation to succeed.
c. They automatically qualify for financial aid.
d. They have few daily distractions.
ANS: B
The only statement applicable to all types of adult learners is that the majority is motivated
to succeed. The other factors may be applicable to one or two classifications of learners but
not to all three.
, 7. When a class of students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern
shared by most learners is generally the fear of
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems.
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS: C
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or
setbacks the learner has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are
afraid of succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is
not as universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually
superseded by fear of failure.
8. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees students the right to
a. graduate from a program.
b. fail an academic program.
c. express oneself in class.
d. have unlimited absences.
ANS: C
The First Amendment provides for freedom of expression as long as what is expressed
does not disrupt class or infringe on the rights of peers. The remaining options are topics
that are not addressed by this amendment.
9. Which amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the learner from being asked to leave
an educational program without due process?
a. Eleventh
b. Twelfth
c. Thirteenth
d. Fourteenth
ANS: D
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process. The learner has the right to defend
him- or herself if charged with a violation of policy or rules. The Eleventh, Twelfth, and
Thirteenth amendments do not address due process.
