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

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

b. Allow the client to verbalize the procedure. ll ll ll ll ll ll

verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are incorrect. It is
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
not the best tool for evaluation. Routinely assessing the infant for cleanliness will not ensure
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
that the proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing that unsafe techniques
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
