A nursing student states, "I can't stand using an index card for each day's planning. I like a monthly calendar so I can see the big picture." From this statement one can conclude that the student's time management strategies are most likely influenced by
a. a personal support system.
b. the right cerebral hemisphere.
c. corpus callosum crossover fibers.
d. the left cerebral hemisphere
ANS: B
The right cerebral hemisphere causes one to look at the larger picture rather than sequential, linear aspects of a topic. The student's need to see a month at a time suggests right cerebral hemisphere dominance. The other options would have less influence on the student's preference.
