Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Socratic questioning is a technique one can use to look beneath the surface, recognize and examine assumptions, search for inconsistencies, examine multiple points of view, and differentiate what one knows from what one merely believes. Questions about evidence and reason focus on just that (e.g., what evidence is there, how you know, what would change your mind).
Rationale 2: Asking about ways to study would be a question about the problem (studying), which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
Rationale 3: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences, which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
Rationale 4: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences, which is not an example of Socratic questioning.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Creativity is thinking that results in the development of new ideas and products and is the ability to develop and implement new and better solutions. When nurses incorporate creativity into their thinking, they are able to find unique solutions to unique problems. Creativity does make the nurse look beyond the answers found in the text, but it also brings originality and individuality to nursing.
Rationale 2: This option does not address the reason creativity is a major component of critical thinking, and appears to dismiss the student's statement.
Rationale 3: This option doesn't address the reason for creativity in nursing and merely trivializes its importance.
Rationale 4: This option doesn't address the reason for creativity in nursing and merely provides a personal motive for creativity.
