The nurse enrolled in graduate courses is able to continue studies while visiting abroad. What has this nurse's nursing school implemented to make this possible?
 
  1. Classroom technology
  2. Distance learning
  3. CAI
  4. Informatics

Question 2

A small nursing program has limited access to clinical sites, especially those with specialty areas. What should the nurse educators consider as an option to allow students hands-on simulated clinical experience in these areas?
 
  1. A field trip to a larger nursing institution
  2. Videos
  3. CAI
  4. Workbook with written study guides

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.
