For last week’s practice question, we quizzed participants on How Well Do You Know Coach Bev? 33% of respondents chose the best answer. We want to clarify and share this important information, so you can pass it on to people living with diabetes and your colleagues, plus prepare for exam success!
Before we start though, if you don’t want any spoilers and haven’t tried the question yet, you can answer it below: Answer Question

Question: Which early job taught Coach Beverly the value of loving your work and providing excellent service?
Answer Choices:
- Working as a monitor technician at a community hospital.
- Volunteering at a convalescent hospital after school.
- Showing up at Ying’s Kitchen Chinese Food Restaurant.
- Babysitting a family of six kids during the summer.

Getting to 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.
