How can the student nurse increase studying efficiency?
a. Maintaining a supply of simple carbohy-drates for a quick energy spurt
b. Alternating mental and physical activities to increase productivity
c. Working nonstop without breaks to focus concentration
d. Delegating tasks of household chores to family members
B
Alternating tasks that are mental with tasks that are physical can increase alertness and create a natural energy spurt to keep going. Carbohydrate-induced energy spurts are short lived and inef-fective for studying efficiency. Working nonstop without breaks leads to fatigue and burnout. Although delegating tasks would be helpful to the student nurse, it does not directly increase studying efficiency.
