Answer to Question 1

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 the student writing what was learned in class and 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 the student writing that skills can be used in the clinical area. In addition, instruction is not intended to show a disconnection between theory and practice as noted by the example of the student not being able to perform the skill as taught.

Answer to Question 2

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.
