A nursing student was ill when the class toured the learning resource center (LRC). What independent action should the student take?
a. Perceive it as a missed opportunity.
b. Ask the librarian if a self-guided audiotape tour is available.
c. Ask to see another student's notes about the tour.
d. Report his or her unawareness to the instructor of LRC features.
ANS: B
It is important that the student learn about features and services of the LRC. Asking the librarian for a self-guided audiotape tour is a self-directed approach to gaining the needed information. If this is not available, it is likely that the librarian will offer an alternative. Perceiving being ill as a missed opportunity is unacceptable, as the student needs the information. Asking to see another's notes would be inadequate to understand the physical layout. Reporting unawareness of the LRC features to the instructor attempts to make the missed tour the instructor's problem rather than the student's.
