Personal Resources of an Adult Learner Knecht: Success in Practical/Vocational
Nursing: Chapter 01
1. When a class of nursing 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superseded by fear of failure.
2. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees students the right to
a. graduate from a program.
Page 1 of 335
,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.
3. 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.
4. When a nursing student expresses concern about being dismissed unfairly from the
program, the most effective peer response would be
a. “Better get over being so negative.”
Page 2 of 335
,b. “You have rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.”
c. “Watch what you say in class to reduce this possibility.”
d. “Instructors really do have control over what happens.”
ANS: B
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process to the student. The learner has the right
to defend him- or herself if charged with a violation of program policy or rules. The other
statements are not the most effective responses to give a student concerned with being
unfairly dismissed.
5. A nursing student monopolizes class discussions. Which statement about the situation
is most accurate?
a. The student is violating the rights of others to participate in class.
b. The student is demonstrating interdependency with the instructor.
c. The student is demonstrating passive learning strategies.
d. The student is at risk for being immediately terminated.
ANS: A
The First Amendment provides the right to freedom of speech as long as what is said does not
disrupt the class or infringe on the rights of other students. In this case, the student who
monopolizes discussion is violating the right of free expression by others in the class.
Interdependency involves a student who is actively involved in his or her own learning and
who has a collaborative relationship with the instructor. A passive learner is someone who is
not actively involved in his or her own learning. The Fourteenth Amendment assures the
student due process, meaning that first the student must be charged with a violation and
presented with evidence of misconduct. The student will be entitled to state his or her case.

, 6. Which remark by a student in a nursing program verbalizes a strategy that promotes
success in the program?
a. “I set goals and work to achieve them.”
b. “I avoid interacting with instructors.”
c. “I spend 2 to 3 hours daily surfing the net.”
d. “I limit my partying to 3 to 4 nights a week.”
ANS: A
Setting goals and working to implement them is a strategy associated with active, self-
directed learning and will promote success. The other responses refer to behaviors that are
not conducive to success, such as avoiding the facilitators of your learning (instructors) and
demonstrating poor time management skills.
7. 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

ANS: D
