A nursing student who applies the concept that neural pathways become increasingly efficient when a learning exercise is repeated will
 
  a. study at the same time each day.
  b. review notes several times.
  c. use relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety.
  d. engage in physical activity while studying.

Question 2

Why is it desirable for the nursing student to engage in learning activities that use both sides of the brain?
 
  a. Atrophy of one side is avoided.
  b. Paralysis of one side is avoided.
  c. Less study time is needed if both sides are used.
  d. The student's full learning potential is increased.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The process of myelination of neurons accounts for neural pathways becoming more efficient when a learning exercise, such as reviewing notes, is repeated several times. Studying at the same time each day and reviewing notes several times do not directly relate to the efficiency of neural pathways. Engaging in physical activity while studying has more to do with avoiding the fight-or-flight response that interferes with learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The two cerebral hemispheres are designed to work together, each having particular functions that complement the functions of the opposite side. By using both hemispheres maximally, learning potential is increased.
