2. A student enrolled in an LPN/LVN program states, “I‟m fresh out of high school and living
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
alone for the first time in my life. I‟m learning how to take care of myself as well as learning
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
to care for my patients.” This statement identifies the student as

Traditional adult learners are individuals who are in their late teens or early 20s who have
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
come to the practical/vocational program directly from high school or another program of
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
study. A returning adult learner is someone who has been out of school for several years. A
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
person in needed of counseling is commonly a student who has been evaluated by the
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
instructor as having areas that need improvement. This student is a traditional adult learner,
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
and traditional adult learners are accustomed to formal education.

3. A nursing student states, “I have taken advantage of informal learning experiences.” Another
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
student asks, “Could you give me an example?” The best example of an informal learning
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
experience is
ni ni
a. caring for a disabled family member. ni ni ni ni ni
b. taking a continuing education course. ni ni ni ni
c. enrolling in an academic program. ni ni ni ni
d. attending credit classes at the mall. ni ni ni ni ni
, ANS: A ni
Informal learning experiences are those that take place outside a formal educational setting. A
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
person who cares for a disabled family member would gain knowledge and skill in providing
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
personal care. An education course, academic program, and credited classes all take place in a
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
formal educational setting.

5. An example of a self-talk “script” that promotes success in a practical/vocational nursing
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
program is
ni ni
a. “I get sick from smelling bad odors.”
ni ni ni ni ni ni
b. “What if I‟m „all thumbs‟ in practice lab?” ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
c. “I don‟t think the instructor likes me.”
ni ni ni ni ni ni
d. “I work well with my hands.”

negative thinking that create expectations for problems and failure.

b. They have the motivation to succeed. ni ni ni ni ni
c. They automatically qualify for financial aid.ni ni ni ni ni
d. They have few daily distractions. ni ni ni ni

succeed. The other factors may be applicable to one or two classifications of learners but not
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
to all three.

7. When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
shared by most learners is generally the fear of
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems. ni
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS: C ni
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
setbacks the learner has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
of succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is not as
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
superseded by fear of failure.

ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
a. graduate from a program. ni ni ni
b. fail an academic program. ni ni ni
c. express oneself in class. ni ni ni
d. have unlimited absences. ni ni
ANS: C ni

ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
not disrupt class or infringe on the rights of peers. The remaining options are topics that are
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
not addressed by this amendment.
