A young adult single mother of a second-grade child has to make a decision regarding the teacher her child will have in third grade and asks the nurse for advice. All other variables being equal, which choice is best?
1. A woman with 35 years of teaching experience
2. A man who is 40 years old
3. A newly graduated 22-year-old man
4. A 30-year-old woman
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Because the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice.
Rationale 2: If all other variables are equal, the best choice is the 40-year-old male, as this child needs role modeling from both females (the mother) and males (this teacher).
Rationale 3: Even though the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice because of the teacher's age.
Rationale 4: Because the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice.
