Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The level of information processing necessary for licensure and meeting employer expectations is best described as understanding the meaning of material, storing it in long-term memory, and being able to apply it clinically. Knowing and being able to repeat facts is insufficient. Grasping information and being able to analyze advanced concepts and questioning the validity of all information and being able to synthesize material are beyond realistic expectations for practical/vocational nursing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When a student's study habits are not working, a change is necessary. It is likely that the student is distracted by the television and the children and is unable to fully concentrate. The quality of study may be more problematic than the quantity. The scenario does not suggest eyestrain. Active listening is important but may not be sufficient to reduce study hours.
