B) Become a member of a study group with some classmates
C) Ask his nursing instructors for remedial help
D) Explore the possibility of professional counseling
Ans: D
Feedback:
A student who becomes overly anxious in testing situations might want to consider professional counseling. Many psychologists specialize in helping students overcome serious test anxiety. A review course or study group is unlikely to help and nursing instructors likely have neither the time nor the expertise to help this student overcome his problem.
