1. A nurse is teaching a patient’s family member about permanent tube
feedings at home. Which purpose of patient education is the nurse meeting?
a. Health promotion
b. Illness prevention
c. Restoration of health
d. Coping with impaired functions
ANS: D
Teach family members to help the patient with health care management (e.g.,
giving medications through gastric tubes and doing passive range-of-motion
exercises) when coping with impaired functions. Not all patients fully recover
from illness or injury. Many have to learn to cope with permanent health
alterations. Health promotion involves healthy people staying healthy, while illness
prevention is prevention of diseases. Restoration of health occurs if the teaching is
about a temporary tube feeding, not a permanent tube feeding.
2. A nurse is teaching a group of healthy adults about the benefits of flu
immunizations. Which type of patient education is the nurse providing?
a. Health analogies
b. Restoration of health
c. Coping with impaired functions
d. Promotion of health and illness prevention
ANS: D
As a nurse, you are a visible, competent resource for patients who want to improve
1
,their physical and psychological well-being. In the school, home, clinic, or
workplace, you promote health and prevent illness by providing information and
skills that enable patients to assume healthier behaviors. Injured and ill patients
need information and skills to help them regain or maintain their level of health;
this is referred to as restoration of health. Not all patients fully recover from illness
or injury. Many have to learn to cope with permanent health alterations; this is
known as coping with impaired functions. Analogies supplement verbal instruction
with familiar images that make complex information more real and
understandable. For example, when explaining arterial blood pressure, use an
analogy of the flow of water through a hose.
3. A nurse’s goal is to provide teaching for restoration of health. Which
situation indicates the nurse is meeting this goal?
Teaching a family member to provide passive range of motion for a
a. stroke patient
Teaching a woman who recently had a hysterectomy about possible
b. adoption
c. Teaching expectant parents about changes in childbearing women
d. Teaching a teenager with a broken leg how to use crutches
ANS: D
Injured or ill patients need information and skills to help them regain or maintain
their levels of health. An example includes teaching a teenager with a broken leg
how to use crutches. Not all patients fully recover from illness or injury. Many
have to learn to cope with permanent health alterations. New knowledge and skills
are often necessary for patients and/or family members to continue activities of
daily living. Teaching family members to help the patient with health care
management (e.g., giving medications through gastric tubes, doing passive range-
of-motion exercises) is an example of coping with long-term impaired functions.
For a woman with a hysterectomy, teaching about adoption is not restoration of
health; restoration of health in this situation would involve activity restrictions and
incision care if needed. In childbearing classes, you teach expectant parents about
physical and psychological changes in the woman and about fetal development;
this is part of health maintenance.
4. A nurse attends a seminar on teaching/learning. Which statement
indicates the nurse has a good understanding of teaching/learning?
a. “Teaching and learning can be separated.”
2
, b. “Learning is an interactive process that promotes teaching.”
c. “Teaching is most effective when it responds
to the learner’s needs.” “Learning consists of
a conscious, deliberate set of actions
designed to
d. help the teacher.”
ANS: C
Teaching is most effective when it responds to the learner’s needs. It is impossible
to separate teaching from learning. Teaching is an interactive process that promotes
learning. Teaching consists of a conscious, deliberate set of actions that help
individuals gain new knowledge, change attitudes, adopt new behaviors, or
perform new skills.
5. A nurse is determining if teaching is effective. Which finding best indicates
learning has occurred?
a. A nurse presents information about diabetes.
b. A patient demonstrates how to inject insulin.
c. A family member listens to a lecture on diabetes.
d. A primary care provider hands a diabetes pamphlet to the patient.
ANS: B
Learning is the purposeful acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and
skills: patient demonstrates how to inject insulin. A new mother exhibits learning
when she demonstrates how to bathe her newborn. A nurse presenting information
and a primary care provider handing a pamphlet to a patient are examples of
teaching. A family member listening to a lecture does not indicate that learning
occurred; a change in knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and/or skills must be
evident.
6. A nurse is teaching a patient about the Speak Up Initiatives. Which
information should the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. If you still do not understand, ask again.
b. Ask a nurse to be your advocate or supporter.
