Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The study skills lab has remedial materials, such as books that teach basic math concepts, and faculty who are prepared to provide guidance for learning such material. The library might have books at the appropriate level but would not provide individualized teaching. The Internet would be more likely to provide information about books available as resources rather than the actual remediation needed. The nursing skills lab is more oriented toward teaching the psychomotor skills of nursing, such as bed-making, asepsis, and other procedures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nursing skills lab supports learning/practicing the psychomotor skills of nursing, such as dressing changes. It would be difficult to practice these skills in other, nonclinical settings. The remaining options can be completed in other settings that do not require the special equipment found in the nursing skills lab.
