◉ Barriers to patient education the nurse considers in implementing
a teaching plan include
a.
family resources.
b.
high school education.
c.
hunger and pain.
,d.
need perceived by patient..
Answer: ANS: C
A patient who is hungry or in pain has limited ability to concentrate
or learn. Family resources would be considered in developing a plan
of care and could be an asset or a barrier to patient education. The
patients educational level would be considered in planning teaching
strategies but would not be a barrier to education. A need perceived
by a patient would provide motivation for learning and would not be
a barrier.
◉ Strategies to include in a teaching plan for an adult who has
repeatedly not followed the written discharge instructions would
include
a.
individualized handout.
b.
instructional videos.
,c.
Internet resources.
d.
self-help books..
Answer: ANS: B
An instructional video would provide a visual/auditory approach for
discharge instructions. Repeatedly not following written
instructions is a clue that the patient may not be able to read or
understand the information. While assessing the literacy level of an
adult patient can be challenging, the information that they have not
been able to follow previous written instructions would suggest that
the nurse use an alternate strategy that does not require a high
degree of literacy. An individualized handout would be written, very
similar to previous instructions, and would not address a concern
about literacy. Internet resources generally require an individual to
be able to read, and although videos are available through the
Internet, this is not the best response. Self-help books would be
appropriate for an individual who reads. There is a question about
whether this patient is literate, so these would not be the best
choice.
, ◉ When planning to evaluate a patients satisfaction with a teaching
activity, the most appropriate strategy would be to
a.
include a survey instrument.
b.
observe for level of skill mastery.
c.
present information more than one time.
d.
provide for a return demonstration..
