Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope this is in the appropriate place.
Currently, I'm a senior nursing student in a BSN program. Today, we were allowed to look over a graded test we completed a few weeks ago for my Healthcare Leadership class. I ended up with a 95, which I was pleased with, but only until I looked at what I had missed. The question involved team nursing and what happens in a team nursing environment. Of course, a team leader (RN) delegates to LPNs and AP to carry out certain tasks. However, the exact wording on the test was "An RN delegates patient care to a group of patients." When I took the test, I, of course, marked through that one as soon as I read it and chose a different answer involving a charge nurse overseeing patient care. I approached the professor about it, but she was quite dismissive and told me that the grade "stands." I am not pleased with this, however. Am I wrong in being upset with this? And should I go further with this? This is our first test of the year, but I would like to start out on the right foot, especially considering our grading scale is a 96-100 A.
Also, does anyone else have a problem with the wording of the "right" answer?
