Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Learning to understand and manage anxiety, particularly test-taking anxiety, can be beneficial for new graduates who plan to take the NCLEX-RN exam. Some methods that help to reduce anxiety are relaxation and visualization before and during the test. Resources to assist in the reduction of anxiety include: 1) relaxation audio tapes; 2) positive thinking; 3) breathing exercises; 4) guided imagery; and 5) relaxation exercises.

Answer to Question 2

a

a. Correct: The best predictor of future behaviour is generally considered to be past behaviour. If the nurse is not a new graduate, it is good to obtain a reference from the nurse's previous manager(s).
b. Incorrect: While the information on Jeremiah's rsum is useful for the interview process, this is not the best predictor of his practice as a front-line nurse.
c. Incorrect: While character references are useful for the interview process, they are not the best predictor of Jeremiah's work.
d. Incorrect: Jeremiah's academic record is not the best predictor of his practice as a front-line nurse.
