A nursing student has a course syllabus and a course outline. When anticipating what topics to study for an examination, it is best to refer to the
a. course objectives.
b. unit objectives.
c. bibliography.
d. course policies.
ANS: B
The unit objectives provide details regarding what information the instructor expects the student to know. Exam questions are often framed from these detailed unit objectives. The course objectives state the overall outcomes of the course and are not particularly useful as study aids. The bibliography simply lists the resources used by the instructor in course preparation. Course policies do not delineate topics for study.
