Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Discovering positive actions of students indicates that it is important to identify positive actions and reinforce them via clinical performance. Making students aware of ineffective clinical behaviors indicates that ineffective clinical behaviors stand in the way of attaining the goal of providing safe, effective patient care. If this goal is not met, the long-term goal of program completion is jeopardized. Role-modeling how to conduct evaluations of others indicates that role-modeling is a desired outcome of clinical performance evaluations. Providing students the opportunity to tell the instructor how the instructor's attitude discourages learning is not a desired outcome of clinical performance evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D
Time management skills and enthusiasm for the profession are both indicators for success in the nursing program. Both having a full time job and a demanding spouse can be deterrents to the successful completion of a nursing program.
