Answer to Question 1

B
The basic skills associated with success in educational programs (and in life) are reading, arithmetic and mathematics, writing, listening, and speaking. Listening is necessary to begin to understand and process information, such as in class lecture and discussion sessions or in the client care setting.

Answer to Question 2

D
Reflect about what you have learned, each time you either assess or evaluate a patient. Routinely round on patients at the beginning of a work shift and ongoing as appropriate. Do not depend on other's observationsbe thorough and make your own assessment. Always go back and observe how a patient responded to your interventions.
