1. A nurse educator is planning a lesson on infection control

for a group of nursing students. She decides to use a case

study of a patient who contracted a hospital-acquired

infection and how it could have been prevented. What is the

main advantage of using a case study as a teaching strategy

in this situation?

a) It stimulates critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

b) It provides factual information and evidence-based

practice.

c) It enhances motivation and interest in the topic.

d) *It integrates theory and practice in a realistic context.*

Rationale: A case study is a realistic scenario that allows

students to apply their theoretical knowledge to a practical

situation. It helps them to bridge the gap between theory and

practice and to understand the relevance of what they are

learning. A case study also stimulates critical thinking and

problem-solving skills, provides factual information and

evidence-based practice, and enhances motivation and

interest in the topic, but these are not the main advantage of

using a case study as a teaching strategy.

2. A nurse educator is conducting a clinical evaluation for a

nursing student who is performing a wound dressing change

on a patient. The nurse educator observes that the student

does not wash her hands before and after the procedure, does

not wear gloves, and does not dispose of the contaminated

materials properly. How should the nurse educator provide

feedback to the student in this situation?
