Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To accomplish a long-term goal (such as graduating from nursing school within 2 years), the long-term goal should be broken down into smaller, more manageable goals, known as short-term goals. The other options are examples of short-term goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The right cerebral hemisphere causes one to look at the larger picture rather than sequential, linear aspects of a topic. The student's need to see a month at a time suggests right cerebral hemisphere dominance. The other options would have less influence on the student's preference.
