Chapter 1: The Nurse's Role in a Changing Maternal–Child Health Care Environment

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which principle ofteaching should the nurse use to ensure learning in a familysituation? J J J J J J J J J J J J J




a. Motivate the familywithpraise and positive feedback. J J J J J J J




b. Learning is best accomplished withthe lecture format. J J J J J J J

d. Familiesshould betaught using medicaljargonso theywill be able to understand the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




technical language used by physicians. J J J J




ANS: A J




Praise and positive feedback are particularly important when a family is trying to master a frustrating
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a straight lecture, which
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is structured to present the simple
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may understand English fairlywell, they
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




maynot understand the medicalterminologyor slang terms that are used.

J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J

A clients culture influences the learning process; thus, a situation that is most conducive to learning is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the clients cultural beliefs. A large class
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher cannot see nonverbal cues
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




from the students to ensure understanding. The ability to understand the language in which teaching is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




done determines how much the client learns. Clients for whom Englishis nottheir primarylanguage
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




maynot understand idioms, nuances, slangterms, informed usage ofwords, or medical terms. The
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




teacher should be fluent in the language ofthe student.
