100% Verified Answers


When describing patient education approaches, the nurse educator would explain that informal

teaching is an approach that




a. follows formalized plans

b. has standardized content

c. often occurs one-to-one


d. addresses group needs - answer✔C. Informal teaching is individualized one on one teaching

which represents the majority of patient education done by nurses that occurs when an

intervention is explained or a question is answered. Group needs are often the focus of formal

patient education courses or classes. Informal teaching does not necessarily follow a specific

formalized plan. It may be planned with specific content, but it is individualized responses to

patient needs. Formal teaching involves the use of a curriculum/course plan with standardized

content.

A patient expresses a strong interest in returning to their work, family, and hobbies after having a

stroke. Which theory type would the nurse use to develop a plan of care for the best results of

this patient's motivation style?




a. field

b. biological

c. cognitive


d. sociologic - answer✔C. Cognitive theorists believe that attention, relevance, confidence, and

satisfaction (ARCS) are the conditions that, when integrated, motivate someone to learn. Field

theorists place significance on how achievement, power, the need for affiliation, and avoidance

motives influence individual behavior. Sociologic theories are not involved in motivation.

a higher incidence of frostbite.

Which statement made by a nurse represents the need for further education regarding pain

management in older adult clients?

b. older clients usually have more experience with pain than younger clients

c. older adults are at greatest risk for under treated pain

younger clients. The other statements are accurate regarding older clients and pain.

c. sponge the victim with cool water and remove his shirt

client needs to be cooled quickly and is a priority for treatment
