a. Motivate the family with praise and positive feedback.
T T T T T T T
b. Learning is best accomplished with the lecture format.

T T T T T
ANS: A T
Praise and positive feedback are particularly important when a family is trying to master a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
frustrating task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
straight lecture, which tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
structured to present the simple tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
understand English fairly well, they may not understand the medical terminology or slang terms
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
that are used.

Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling,
T T T T T T T T T T T
and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; it is usually initiated by the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
physician through direct orders or protocol.

The clients correct performance of the procedure under the nurses supervision is the best proof of

her ability. Demonstration is an excellent teaching method, but not an evaluation method. During
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are incorrect. It is not
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
the best tool for evaluation. Routinely assessing the infant for cleanliness will not ensure that the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing that unsafe techniques being used.

A clients culture influences the learning process; thus, a situation that is most conducive to
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the clients cultural
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
beliefs. A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
cannot see nonverbal cues from the students to ensure understanding. The ability to understand
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
the language in which teaching is done determines how much the client learns. Clients for whom
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informed
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
usage of words, or medical terms. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. For the teacher to
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
present the information in the best way, the class should be at the same level.
