Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Reviewing the learning outcomes first will guide the learner to note the important components of the chapter, as contrasted with reading without knowing the expectations. Answer options 1, 2, and 3 will not help the student gain any insight as to the expectations of the chapter.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The professional nurse is accountable for his own learning experience. Reading the assigned lesson before class demonstrates accountability by optimizing the learning experience. The other options, while desirable, do not apply in this situation.
