Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Classroom technology is just one piece of distance learning.
Rationale 2: Distance learning is a model to deliver information and class sessions via audio or video transmission. The use of computers is required to offer this type of delivery in education.
Rationale 3: Computer-assisted instruction (CAI), a method to allow for practice and simulation via CD-ROM, is only one component of distance learning.
Rationale 4: Nursing informatics is the science of using computer information systems in the practice of nursing, not necessarily the education of nursing.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Taking field trips might not be economically feasible.
Rationale 2: Videos also provide instruction, but not simulation.
Rationale 3: Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) helps students as well as nurses learn and demonstrate learning. Programs cover topics from drug dosage calculations to ethical decision making, drill and practice, simulation, and testing. CAI simulations can provide a virtual experience for the student through a computer program.
Rationale 4: Written study guides allow for learning, but not hands-on experience.
