A nursing student has just received an evaluation that indicates difficulties with time management and prioritization in the care of clients. How should the student react to this input?
1. Take the feedback seriously and use it to guide personal growth.
2. Blame the student–faculty relationship as the basis of the evaluation.
3. Dismiss the evaluation as invalid.
4. Consider the feedback carefully but not change practice patterns.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The student should take the feedback seriously and use it to guide personal growth. Issues with time management and prioritization are common with students and should be addressed. The student should introspectively look at the situation and use it for growth.
Rationale 2: Blaming the student–faculty relationship for the poor review reflects projection of the student's beliefs onto the situation.
Rationale 3: Dismissing the feedback reflects projection of the student's beliefs onto the situation.
Rationale 4: Considering the feedback but not using it to change personal practice reflects projection of the student's beliefs onto the situation.

According to the web of causation model of health and illness, the interaction between numerous causal variables creates a more potent combination of factors predisposing an in-dividual to illness. This implies:
1. Not only are there more variables, but the variables interact resulting in higher probability of illness. 2. One disease causes another, especially in vulnerable populations. 3. The greater the poverty, the more likely people are to have diseases. 4. Nurses should ensure that everyone is immunized because vulnerable populations spread disease.
