MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A first semester student is struggling in class and did not do well on her last exam. She has
determined the problem to be her lack of skill in note-taking. What can the student do in order
to take more effective notes during lecture?
a. Focus on writing key words and phrases.
b. Photocopy someone else’s notes.
c. Write verbatim all that is said.
d. Practice memorization in class instead of taking notes.
ANS: A
The student should focus on writing key words and phrases in order to be more effective at
note-taking. Photocopying someone else’s notes, writing verbatim, and memorizing lecture
will not help the student with effective note-taking.
2. A student nurse feels that his reading skills are not adequate. Which action would he take in
order to have effective reading skills?
a. Focus on improving reading speed.
b. Read slowly and thoroughly.
c. Ask his friends and family read to him.
d. Passively engage in reading.
ANS: A
Evidence relates reading speed to comprehension; the faster you read, the more you
understand what you are reading.
3. A struggling student admits that she is reading the same paragraph over and over when she
tries to read the text. The instructor recognizes this as inhibitory to her comprehension of the
material. Which suggestion could the instructor make to the student to help correct the
situation?
a. “Just keep trying. Maybe you need to read it over a few times to get it.”
b. “Maybe you are waiting too late at night to study. Try studying earlier in the day.”
c. “Try putting your finger under the words one at a time.”
d. “If the words are a stumbling block, study them alone first, and then as you read,
you will be less likely to stumble over them and regress.”
ANS: D
Regression, or rereading what was just read, may be caused by stumbling over unfamiliar
terms that cause reading to slow and decrease.
5. A nursing student is preparing for her first day of lecture. She knows that in order to succeed,
she should:
a. skip the first day of class and read the material at home.
b. sit in the front of the room, away from distractions.
c. take notes from the book during lecture time.
d. sit in the back of the class, next to her best friend.
ANS: B
Students should sit in the front of the classroom for optimal learning, away from distractions.
6. A patient comes to the emergency department with complaints of crushing chest pain that
radiates down his left arm. While reviewing his health history with the RN, the patient states
that he has been getting over a cold. He also has seasonal allergies and is allergic to peanuts.
The nurse interprets the major detail for the patient’s ER visit as the patient:
a. has a peanut allergy.
b. is experiencing crushing chest pain.
c. is getting over a cold.
d. has seasonal allergies.
ANS: B
The major detail in this scenario is the patient’s crushing chest pain, which brought him into
the ER. All other are minor details.
7. The RN is performing an assessment on a patient being admitted for back pain. The nurse
interprets which of the patient’s statements as a minor detail?
a. The patient has not been able to void in 12 hours.
b. The patient ate 90% of his meal.
c. The patient reports being unable to walk.
d. The patient was involved in a car accident 2 days ago.
ANS: B
Minor details support the major details and peripherally support the main idea. In this
scenario, the patient eating 90% of his meal is a minor detail. The other choices are major
details.
8. A student has been out of school for a number of years. She is concerned that she may not be
able to study effectively. What action can the student take that will increase her ability to
focus on her studies?
a. Study for 1 hour a night.
b. Study in a loud coffee shop.
c. Stay up all night before tests to make sure she is proficient.
d. Study with the TV off.
ANS: D
The student should learn ways to study effectively in order to succeed in school. Studying for
only 1 hour per night, studying in a loud coffee shop, and staying up all night to study are not
ways to study effectively.
9. A student is reviewing new material for an upcoming test. She has decided to highlight so that
she can come back later to easily review the material. How can she use highlighting to be
successful?
a. She should highlight the first time she reads the material.
b. She should highlight no more than 20% of the material.
c. She should use only one method of highlighting.
d. She should highlight the entire chapter.
ANS: B
The student should read the material at least once before she begins highlighting. Highlighting
during the first read through, using only one method of highlighting, and highlighting the
entire chapter would not assist the student in being successful.
10. A student is trying to develop better study habits. She knows that for every hour of class, it is
advised that she study for ______ hours.
a. 3 to 4
b. 2 to 3
c. 4 to 5
d. 5 to 6
ANS: B
For every hour of class the student should spend 2 to 3 hours studying in order to be
successful.
THE END
THE Y. M. C. A. BOYS SERIES
By BROOKS HENDERLEY
12mo. Cloth. Illustrated. Price per volume, 60 cents, postpaid.
Telling how the boys of Cliffwood were a wild set and how, on
Hallowe’en, they turned the home town topsy-turvy. This led to an
organization of a boys’ department in the local Y. M. C. A. When the
lads realized what was being done for them, they joined in the
movement with vigor and did all they could to help the good cause.
To raise funds they gave a minstrel show and other entertainments,
and a number of them did their best to win a gold medal offered by a
local minister who was greatly interested in the work of upbuilding
youthful character.
In this tale the scene is shifted to the seashore, where the boys
are having a vacation for the summer. Encouraged by the
temperance work done in their home town, they join a local crusade
to close the various drinking and gambling houses. They fall in with
another lad, the son of a well-known drunkard of the summer resort,
and do all they can to aid him. A good, clean-cut boys’ story, full of
life and action, not at all preachy, but teaching the best of morals.
By CLARENCE YOUNG
12mo. Illustrated. Price per volume, 60 cents, postpaid.
Fresh from their adventures in their automobile, their motor boat and
their airship, the youths are sent to college to complete their interrupted
education. Some boys at the institution of learning have heard much about
our heroes, and so conclude that the Motor Boys will try to run everything
to suit themselves.
A plot is formed to keep our heroes entirely in the background and not
let them participate in athletics and other contests. How the Motor Boys
forged to the front and made warm friends of their rivals makes unusually
interesting reading.
