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.

Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including
teaching, counseling, and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions
initiated by the physician and carried out 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.

therapeutic response. The response, Everything will be ok is belittling the
clients feelings. The response, Dont worry about it. It will be over soon will

physician will be in later and you can talk to him does not allow the client to
verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.
