A nursing student has a conflict with taking a scheduled course in the nursing program and picking up children from day care. Which adjustment is possible and would result in the best resolution?
a. Request the nursing program offer the course at a different time.
b. Withdraw from the nursing program until the children are older.
c. Arrange to have a friend or relative pick up the children.
d. Remove the children from day care.
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.
