The nursing student is concerned because a faculty member does not follow the outline of the textbook chapters during class. What is true about this situation?
1. Many faculty use textbook reading as background for more advanced discussion.
2. The student should bring this oversight to the faculty member's attention.
3. The only way to correct this behavior is to report the faculty to the director of the nursing program.
4. The faculty member is probably not very comfortable with the material in the textbook.
Correct Answer: 1
Many nursing faculty use textbook reading to provide background information for more advanced discussion of the topic being covered. There is no indication that this faculty member is not comfortable with the textbook material. This educational strategy is valid and is not a reason for the student to report the faculty member or to enlighten the faculty member about what the student identifies as an oversight.
