✓ A. CORRECT: The learner must recognize that the need exists and that
the material to be learned is valuable. Motivation is the most important
factor influencing learning.
✓ B. INCORRECT: Although this is important, it is not the first thing the nurse
should do before implementing a teaching plan.
✓ C. INCORRECT: Although supportive individuals (family members,
friends, neighbors, etc.) can assist in helping the patient maintain a
positive mental attitude and reinforce learning, another option has a
higher priority.
✓ D. INCORRECT:Although the teacher should identify a patient's learning
style, a variety of teaching methods, not just the patient's preference,
should be used. This ensures that as many senses as possible are
stimulated when learning, thereby increasing the probability of a
successful outcome to the learning

✓ A. INCORRECT: Teaching and learning involve one or all domains of
learning and do not move from one to the other in progressive order.
Cognitive learning involves the intellect and requires thinking. Cognitive
learning increases in complexity from knowledge to
✓ comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of
information. Affective learning involves the expression of feelings and
the changing of beliefs, attitudes, or values. Affective learning
increases in complexity from receiving to responding, valuing,
organizing, and characterizing. In addition, there is the psychomotor
domain, which is related to mastering a skill and requires motor activity.
Learning in this domain increases in complexity from readiness to take
action to a guided response, mechanism, complex-overt response,
adaptation, and origination.
✓ B. INCORRECT: Teaching methods that are formal or informal
✓ are equally effective. The key is to select the approach that is most
likely to be effective for the individual learner. This depends on a
✓ variety of factors, such as intelligence, content to be taught, learning
style preferences, available resources, reading level, etc.

✓ C. CORRECT: Complex material is best learned when easily understood
aspects of the topic are presented first as a foundation for the more
complex aspects. When moving from the simple to the complex, a
person works at integrating and incorporating the less complex, new
learning into one's body of knowledge and understanding before
moving on to more complex information.
✓ D. INCORRECT: There is no documented principle that supports the
need to present content in the direction of broad to specific rather
than specific to broad. Each individual patient and the information to
be taught will influence the direction in which content is taught.
