Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The left brain thinker uses linear, step-by-step thinking that complements traditional time management strategies. Right brain thinkers are nonlinear and look at the picture as a whole. The midbrain does not contribute to time management. Creative thinking is less of a step-by-step approach and is often associated with the right brain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Arranging to have a friend or relative pick up the children allows the student to remain in the course and the children to be picked up in a timely fashion, creating a win-win situation. Requesting the nursing program offer the course at a different time is unlikely to affect the problem. Withdrawing from the nursing program until the children are older is unsatisfactory. Removing the children from day care creates additional problems.
