This learner shares some of thecharacteristics of both traditional and returning adult learners. However, this adultlearner might have technical school or college experience or an undergraduate orgraduate degree in a discipline other than nursing.

Learners should look at tests withthe goal of understanding why incorrect answers are wrong, as well as the rationalefor correct answers. Looking at the test grade and handing the test and answer sheetback is not optimal learning behavior. Arguing each wrong answer with the instructordoes not promote the openness required for optimal learning.

Providingconstructive criticism related to poor performance behaviors refers to only half of thepurpose. Keeping unsuitable persons from achieving licensure is not the purpose,because early identification and change in negative behaviors foster ultimate successin the program. Helping learners develop the ability to listen to negative commentsabout performance is not a purpose of the clinical performance evaluation.DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 8 OBJ: 6TOP: Clinical evaluation KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/AMSC: NCLEX: N/A22.Which statement by a nursing student is an example of self-evaluation?a.“Theotherstudentforgottouseabathblanket.”b.“Icontaminatedmygloveontheedgeofthebed.”c.“Thestaffnursewasabruptwiththeresident.”d.“Itwasnicetobecomplimentedbymyinstructor.”ANS: BAwareness ofone’sactions is a component of self-evaluation. Noticing a breach ofsterile technique during performance of a clinical skill is an excellent example of self-evaluation.“Theother student forgot to use a bathblanket”describes evaluation ofone student by another.“Thestaff nurse was abrupt with theresident”describesevaluation of a staff nurse by another person.“Itwas nice to be complimented by myinstructor”is a reflection of feelings associated with being complimented, not self-evaluation.DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: p. 8 OBJ: 6TOP: Self-evaluation KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/AMSC: NCLEX: N/A23.Which student expectation of an instructor is reasonable?

The other options are not reasonable expectations.Only the individual with the problem can resolve it, albeit with assistance fromanother. Motivation is an internal factor for the student. It is thelearner’sresponsibility to seek out the instructor for examination review.DIF: Cognitive Level: Analysis REF: pp. 6-7 OBJ: 7TOP: Faculty responsibility to students KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/AMSC: NCLEX: N/A24.The practical/vocational nursing student asks an instructor,“Howperfect do I haveto be to pass my clinical evaluation?

A lesser standard is not acceptable. This makes the importance of skillpractice in theschool’spractice laboratory understandable. Errors may affect patientsafety. Provision of patient care at the same level as classmates is true only if the levelof classmates is consistent with LPN/LVN safe practice.

Asking the smartest student in class might notbe helpful if this student is also having difficulty understanding the content. Askingthe patient for his or her view would not provide balanced information. An Internetsearch might not yield relevant information.DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 10 OBJ: 7TOP: Student responsibility for seeking help KEY: Nursing Process Step: N/AMSC: NCLEX: N/A26.A nursing student tells a peer,“Myinstructor is on my case all the time.I’mpicked on more than any other student in the group.

Making students awareof ineffective clinical behaviors indicates that ineffective clinical behaviors stand inthe way of attaining the goal of providing safe, effective patient care. If this goal is notmet, the long-term goal of program completion is jeopardized. Role-modeling how toconduct evaluations of others indicates that role-modeling is a desired outcome ofclinical performance evaluations.

Part of creating an optimal learningenvironment includes having approachable faculty who are available to help studentswho encounter questions or problems the student cannot independently resolve usingavailable resources. Solving each of thestudent’slearning problems is unrealistic andwould rob the student of active participation. Making learning simple and free frompsychological pain is not realistic. Learning is rooted in the learner. The instructorcannot guarantee student response. Eliminating difficult concepts from lectures andlaboratories is not realistic.

It involves accomplishing the long-term goal onestep at a time. Striving to complete the entire goal at one time often leads toprocrastination because the task seems too large.

Requesting the nursing program offer the course at a different timeis unlikely to affect the problem. Withdrawing from the nursing program until thechildren are older is unsatisfactory.

Planning involves finding the time to complete work.

Asking family members to run errands or prepare meals makes use ofdelegating. Reviewing reasons for going to school with a spouse helps gain supportfrom and collaboration with a significant other. Reserving 3 hours daily for reading,organizing notes, and studying is an example of daily planning. Substitutingrecreational activity for study time describes failure to implement daily and weeklyplans. Delaying complex tasks until a large block of time is available is an example ofprocrastination.
