A nursing student tells another student, "The instructor assigned both a textbook chapter and a journal article! It should be one or the other, not both!" The reply that shows the best understanding of the assignment is
a. "The journal article may give us updated information on one aspect of the assignment."
b. "Sometimes textbooks have incorrect information, so it provides checks and balances."
c. "Reading articles allows us to make sure the instructors provide current information in lecture."
d. "Copyright laws prevent the instructor from lecturing directly from that source, so we have to read."
ANS: A
Periodical articles give up-to-date information to supplement textbook readings. The statements that "textbooks have incorrect information" and/or "reading articles allows instructors to provide information in lectures" do not provide the best understanding. Copyright laws do not prevent instructors from using material in lectures.
