Chapter 1: The Nurse's Role in a Changing Maternal–Child Health Care Environment
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which principle of teaching should the nurse use to ensure learning in a family situation?
a. Motivate the family with praise and positive feedback.
b. Learning is best accomplished with the lecture format.
c. Present complex subject material first while the family is alert and ready to learn.
d. Families should be taught using medical jargon so they will be able to understand
the technical language used by physicians.
ANS: A
Praise and positive feedback are particularly important when a family is trying to master a
frustrating task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a
straight lecture, which tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is
structured to present the simple tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may
understand English fairly well, they may not understand the medical terminology or slang terms
that are used.

by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is
a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; it is usually initiated by the
physician through direct orders or protocol.
