When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern shared by most learners is generally the fear of
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems.
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS: C
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or setbacks the learner has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid of succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is not as universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually superseded by fear of failure.
