One who has b... een 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.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 3 OBJ: 1 TOP: Adult Learner KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/A MSC: NCLEX: N/A 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: p. 3 OBJ: 1 TOP: Adult Learner KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/A MSC: NCLEX: N/A 3. A nursing 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. Chapter 02: Academic Resources (Study Skills and Test Strategies) MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A nursing student was ill when the class toured the learning resource center (LRC). What independent action should the student take? a. Perceive it as a missed opportunity. b. Ask the librarian if a self-guided online tour is available. c. Ask to see another student’s notes about the tour. d. Report his or her unawareness to the instructor of LRC features. ANS: B It is important that the student learn about features and services of the LRC. Asking the librarian for a self-guided online tour is a self-directed approach to gaining the needed information. If this is not available, it is likely that the librarian will offer an alternative. Perceiving being ill as a missed opportunity is unacceptable, as the student needs the information. Asking to see another’s notes would be inadequate to understand the physical layout. Reporting unawareness of the LRC features to the instructor attempts to make the missed tour the instructor’s problem rather than the student’s. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 31 | p. 32 OBJ: 3 TOP: LRC KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/A MSC: NCLEX: N/A 2. A nursing student tells another student, “The instructor assigned both a textbook chapter and a journal article! It should be one or the other, not both!” The reply that shows the best understanding of the assignment is a. “The journal article may give us updated information on one aspect of the assignment.” b. “Sometimes textbooks have incorrect information, so it provides checks and balances.” c. “Reading articles allows us to make sure the instructors provide current information in lecture.” d. “Copyright laws prevent the instructor from lecturing directly from that source, so we have to read.” ANS: A Periodical articles give up-to-date information to supplement textbook readings. The statements that “textbooks have incorrect information” and/or “reading articles allows instructors to provide information in lectures” do not provide the best understanding. Copyright laws do not prevent instructors from using material in lectures. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 33 OBJ: 4 TOP: Periodical articles KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/A MSC: NCLEX: N/A 3. A nursing student states, “When we have lecture-discussion sessions, I never know what’s expected of me.” The best reply by a peer would be a. “I think it’s our responsibility as students to avoid actively disagreeing with the instructor or other students.” b. “I think it’s our responsibility as students to make a list of questions about material we don’t understand.” c. “I think it’s our responsibility as students to listen until we’re called upon to answer questions.” d. “I think it’s our responsibility as students to use review books to check the depth of the material we’re learning.” Chapter 03: Community Resources Chapter 04: How Practical/Vocational Nursing Evolved: 1836 to the Present Chapter 05: Critical Thinking: A Lifelong Journey [Show More]
