Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A computer simulation would require the student to actively use the nursing process to gather data, set priorities, plan, determine the best ways to implement, and evaluate care outcomes in carefully chosen representative clinical situations. Students are often more passive during observational experiences than while working through a computer simulation. Shadowing a venipuncturist, too, is a more passive situation for the learner and is limited to only one aspect of medication administration. Error avoidance is only one aspect of medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Study groups and tutoring are most helpful to students when active listening is involved. Leaders/tutors deriving more benefit than other participants may or may not be a true statement. The remaining options are not supported by research data.
