The nursing student has identified a discrepancy between what is written in the textbook and what the nursing faculty member said during theory class. What should the student do?
1. Wait and see whether the material is covered on the next exam.
2. Ask a clinical staff nurse for clarification of the topic.
3. Request an appointment with the faculty member who taught the material.
4. Look the topic up on the Internet for clarification.
Correct Answer: 3
In this case, the discrepancy is between what is written in the textbook and what the student has understood from theory class. The most logical approach is to request an appointment with the faculty member who taught the material so that questions about the topic can be discussed. Reputable Internet sites and clinical staff nurses are good resources for general topics, but this question is a particular discrepancy that should be clarified with the person who taught the material. Waiting to see whether the material is covered on the next exam is a passive action that will not help the student learn the correct concepts.
