1. Which principle of teaching should the nurse use to ensure learning in a family situation?
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




a. Motivate the family with praise and positive feedback.
L L L L L L L




b. Learning is best accomplished with the lecture format.
L L L L L L L




c. Present complex subject material first while the family is alert and ready to learn.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L




d. Families should be taught using medical jargon so they will be able to understand
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



the technical language used by physicians.
L L L L L L




ANS: A L




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




L frustrating task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a
L L L L L L L L L L L L




straight lecture, which tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




structured to present the simple tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




understand English fairly well, they may not understand the medical terminology or slang terms
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




that are used.

L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




L you can talk to him does not allow the client to verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.

the best tool for evaluation. Routinely assessing the infant for cleanliness will not ensure that the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L




proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing that unsafe techniques being used.
