Feedback: Peer-reviewed (expert peers review manuscripts prior to publication for their
appropriateness) and evidence-based journals contain the most recent research and
applications based upon research. The textbook may have been published this year but will
contain older information than the journal. The brochure will advertise supplies for purchase
but will not offer information about the latest research. The example website may or may not
be reliable and valid, and there is no guarantee that it is kept up-to-date with the latest research
related to diabetes.

12. A nursing student has announced to a classmate, ―Textbooks are so twentieth century. I do all
my research on the Internet.‖ How should the classmate best respond to this statement?
A. ―In the long run, you‘ll save money by investing in a few well-recognized
textbooks.‖
B. ―I agree, but I find that the pictures, graphs, and figures in a textbook can be useful
supplements.‖
C. ―If you do this, make sure that you personally know the person who produced the
information.‖
D. ―Remember that anyone can post information online, so the information isn‘t
guaranteed to be accurate.‖
ANS: D
Feedback: Anyone can put information on a website, so information may or may not be
accurate. It is necessary to critically appraise online information, but this does not mean that
the student must personally know the individual who posts the information. Textbooks should
not be seen solely as a supplement or adjunct to online information.

13. A nursing student is scheduled to take the first written exam in the nursing program and is
experiencing test anxiety. What strategy should the nursing student implement to maximize
the chances of being successful in this exam?
A. Take the written exam as quickly as possible in order to avoid ―second guessing.‖
B. Focus on the most difficult questions before answering the easier questions.
C. Scan the entire exam to make some estimates about the time that each section will
require.
D. Focus on guessing instinctively rather than focusing on the specifics of a question.
ANS: C
, Feedback: When taking a written exam, the student should begin by scanning the exam. It is
advisable to do easy questions first to build confidence. The student should not aim for speed
when writing an exam, and guessing is only an option when the student is unsure of the
correct answer.

14. The nursing student received several lectures on caring for a client requiring bed rest. The
nursing student practiced essential skills related to caring for a client on bed rest. The nursing
student has the first clinical experience. Which example supports the primary purpose of
clinical instruction?
A. The nursing instructor demonstrates how to log roll the client and allows the
nursing students to practice this for the first time since the students never learned
this skill before.
B. The nursing student found that he or she could not insert the urinary catheter as
easily as he or she had practiced it in the laboratory, and the clinical instructor
stated that the client may have an obstruction in the urethra making it difficult to
insert the catheter as taught.
C. The nursing student wrote in his or her clinical journal that he or she used what he
or she learned in class and in the lab while caring for the client he or she was
assigned.
D. The nursing student wrote in his or her clinical journal that he or she found that the
skills he or she learned in the lab were able to be used in the clinical area.
ANS: C
Feedback: Clinical instruction is arranged by the faculty to give the student practical
experience in the care of people in various health care settings as demonstrated by the
example of writing in the clinical journal about using class instruction in the lab. The primary
purpose is not simply to supplement learning as seen in the example of the instructor
demonstrating a log roll or study skills as noted in the example of writing one‘s findings in a
clinical journal, and it is not intended to show a disconnect between theory and practice as
noted by the example difficulty inserting a urinary catheter.
