questions
1. The patient asks questions about his or her treatment or prognosis.
Patients in the resolution stage realize that their illness has created
changes and begin to ask questions. The patient who blames others for his
or her condition is in the anger stage, not in the resolution stage. A patient
in
the denial stage does not believe the truth about the disease, may believe
that everyone is lying, and avoids giving consent for treatment.: The nurse
is communicating with a 25-year-old diagnosed with acute lymphocytic
leukemia. Which action indicates that the patient is in the resolution
stage of psychosocial adaptation?
The patient blames God for the diagnosis.
The patient insists that no one is telling the truth.
The patient avoids giving consent for treatment and
procedures. The patient asks questions about his or her
treatment or prognosis.
2. Simulation
Simulation is a teaching technique in which the nurse teaches the patient
about problem-solving and independent thinking. Therefore, the patient de-
cides to solve the problem of diabetes by initiating a diet low in fat and cho-
lesterol. During role-play, the patients are asked to play a role as themselves
or someone else. The nurse uses analogies to translate complex information
into simpler forms using diagrams or pictures. When the patient observes
the psychomotor skills of the nurse and practices them, then the nurse is
using the demonstration approach.: A patient diagnosed with diabetes
decides to have a meal that is low in cholesterol and fat after
participating in a teaching session provided by the nurse. Which
teaching approach of the nurse enabled the patient to make this
decision?

3. Telling
The telling approach should be used for teaching when limited information
is to be taught. It is more effective when the patient is having anxiety. Partic-
ipating involves the nurse and patient working together to achieve learning
objectives. Entrusting gives the patient the opportunity to manage self-care,
and the patient accepts the responsibility. Reinforcement is using some
stim- ulus to increase the probability of a response.: The nurse has to
inform a patient about an emergency appendectomy to be performed
for acute abdominal pain and the postoperative recovery. Which
teaching approach would be most effective?

4. a, c, d: The nurse is demonstrating the technique of self-administration
of an
insulin injection to a group of diabetic patients. What should the nurse
keep in mind when teaching throughout the demonstration method?
(choose all that apply)
a. Encourage patients to ask questions.
b.Set a timer to complete the demonstration.
c. Perform the steps in the right sequence.
d. Position the patients to provide a clear view of the skill being
performed.
e.When the demonstration is over, politely ask the patient to leave
and to try the activity at home.
5. The nurse should remain silent and let the patient express his or her

anger.
Anger is one of the early stages in the psychosocial adaptation to grief.
The patient is not ready to accept the problem and needs the opportunity to
express feelings and anger. Telling the patient that he or she is not
responsible for this condition should not be the immediate response. The
patient should be allowed to express all of his or her feelings first. The nurse
should serve
