Lightbulb and text: Rationale of the Week

Question:  Which early job taught Coach Beverly the value of loving your work and providing excellent service?

Answer Choices:

  1. Working as a monitor technician at a community hospital.
  2. Volunteering at a convalescent hospital after school.
  3. Showing up at Ying’s Kitchen Chinese Food Restaurant.
  4. Babysitting a family of six kids during the summer.

Getting to the Best Answer

If you are thinking about taking the certification exam, this practice test question will set you up for success. Test writers anticipate possible answers based on the details in the question. They will wave those “juicy answers” right under your nose. Your job is to weed through the particulars, pluck out the most important elements and choose the BEST answer.

Answer 1 is incorrect. 22% chose this answer, “Working as a monitor technician at a community hospital.” Beverly worked as a monitor tech and nurses aide at a community hospital while attending nursing school. These experiences taught her about navigating medical terminology and hospital systems.

Answer 2 is incorrect. 25% of you chose this answer, “Volunteering at a convalescent hospital after school.” Coach Bev did lead Bingo games and play guitar at a convalesent home after school. She loved connecting with older adults and hearing their stories.

Answer 3 is correct. About 33% of respondents chose this, “Showing up at Ying’s Kitchen Chinese Food Restaurant.” This is the best answer. Her 8 years at Ying’s Kitchen taught her about hard work, attention to detail, and loving what you do.

Finally, Answer 4 is incorrect. 18% chose this answer, “Babysitting a family of six kids during the summer.” Watching 6 kids over the summer helped her recognize that being a parent has lots of perks, but she wasn’t ready.

We hope you appreciate this week’s rationale! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our Question of the Week and participate in this fun learning activity!
