Answer to Question 1

D
Because the teacher is experienced and has been successful in the past, he or she should assess the students for unknown barriers such as stress, lack of time, lack of support, or other personal characteristics of the learners.
Even if it were true that admission standards had been relaxed, this would only explain one type of barrier to learning. Before assuming this, further assessment would need to be made.
It is possible that current students are less prepared for college than past students, but this is too narrow to be the correct answer.
Students who are younger and more capable with technology may prefer texts that are web based or web enhanced, but this in itself would not prevent students from learning.

Answer to Question 2

B
A person with an external locus of control, such as this patient, needs clear directions and firm support to make healthy changes. Clear written instructions would be very helpful.
With a patient who has an internal locus of control, it is a good strategy to ask the patient to help set his or her own nutritional goals. However, this patient has an external locus of control and would not believe that he or she has this control.
A patient with an external locus of control may not see value in searching websites and likely would not do it.
Although telling the patient when to return to the clinic is very clear, it does nothing to assist the patient in making healthy changes to dietary behaviors.
