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.
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.

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
ANS: 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.
5. A nursing student is aware of the importance of critical thinking, especially in clinical
situations. When applying the principles of critical thinking to a situation, the 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?”
C.
“What are the consequences of making the wrong decision in this situation?”
D.
“What are the facts that I know about this situation?”
ANS: D
Feedback: A useful starting point for the critical thinking process is to determine the facts
about the situation. This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is
likely not helpful to ask what could possibly go wrong.
