NUR 200 EXAM 4 STUDY GUIDE | COMPLETE NURSING EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2026/2027
to teach, we must adequately do what? - ANS ✔✔1. convey the information
2. assess verbal and non verbal feed back
3. accommodate different learning styles
learning - ANS ✔✔change in behavior, knowledge, skills, or attitude. it occurs as a result of planned or
spontaneously occurring situations, events, or exposers.
conscious: goal-oriented, intended, and deliberate, involving motivation to learn
subconscious: without active participation in the learning process
who do nurses teach? - ANS ✔✔single client, families, caregivers, groups of clients, peers, nursing
students, new employees, unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)
what do nurses teach? - ANS ✔✔Disease information
Information about medications
Procedures/psychomotor skills
Disease prevention and health promotion
Clinical processes (tell patient why all of this is important)
teaching responsibilities of the nurse - ANS ✔✔teaching is a part of the independent nursing practice
standards of teaching are managed by the ANA, joint commission, and american hospital associations
patient care partnership
purpose of teaching clients - ANS ✔✔clients participate in decisions
hospital stays are shorter
cost of help care is high (teaching decreases cost)
teaching facilitates compliance.
role of the nurse in teaching and learning - ANS ✔✔- teaching information the client & family need to
make informed decisions regarding care
- determine what clients need to know (dont assume they know)
- identify when clients are ready to learn and barriers to learning
rolse of the nurse in teaching and learning 5 rights to teaching - ANS ✔✔right time: enough time,
appropriate time
right context: no distractions, quite, and private
right goal: both agree on objectives
right content: is it appropriate and the level?
right method: strategies fit learning style and ability of patient
learning theories - ANS ✔✔behavioral learning theory: characterized by identification of information to
be taught and immediate reward for correct responses (dog and bell).
cognitive theory: sees learning as a complex cognitive (mental) activity; an intellectual or thinking
process in which the learner structures and processes information
, humanism: focuses on the learners affective (emotional), cognitive (intellectual), and attitudinal
qualities; emphasizes learners active participation and responsibility in the learning process. (self
motivated)
Blooms taxonomy 6 stages - ANS ✔✔bottom (least complex) to top (most complex):
remember: memorize, recall, define, recognize
understand: understand, summarize, inform, interpret
apply: use abstract ideas, implement
analyze: identifying relationships, breaking it down
evaluate: judging, assessing value, applying standards
create: designing, constructing, inventing
blooms taxonomy: cognitive objectives - ANS ✔✔cognitive- mental activities
- storage and recall of information (web based, mobile apps, reading materials, lectures)
psychomotor- "hands on" skill
- requires thinking and doing (teach back)
affective- feeling activities
- changing feelings, beliefs, attitudes, and values (role modeling, group work, story telling)
barriers to teaching and learning: for the nurse - ANS ✔✔competing demands
conflicting schedules
ineffective coordination
lack of space/privacy
teaching not seen as priority
no third-party reimbursement
documentation frustration
barriers to teaching and learning: for the client - ANS ✔✔-motivation (respect, warm/friendly
environment, rewards and incentives)
readiness (physical condition (pain, strength, energy level, vision/hearing impairment), emotions (stress,
anxiety, emotional pain))
-timing (apply it immediately, time to absorb)
-active involvement (passive listening will not be effective)
-feedback (provide positive feedback. negative feedback is for skill improvement only)
-repetition (retain if repeated or incorporated into life)
-environment (physically and psychologically comfortable)
-scheduling (uninterrupted)
-type of content (bigger change = more challenging)
-communication (watch verbal and nonverbal cues for engagement/focus)
-special needs (ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities, mental health, developmental stage. (schedule breaks,
lesser distractions, repetition, slow content down)
-developmental stage (is it correct/appropriate)
-culture (beware of norms, values, communication, social structure, time orientation, cultural
identification)
-literacy (dont assume literacy, assume everyone is at a 5th grade level, avoid medical jargon)
SMART goals - ANS ✔✔Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely
