Chapter 9, Teaching and CounselingA male client age 61 years has been admitted to a medical unit with a diagnosis of pancreatitis secondary to alcohol use.
Which of the client’s following statements suggests that nurses’ education has resulted in affective learning?
A) “I’m starting to see how my lifestyle has caused me to end up here.”
B) “I understand why they’re not letting me eat anything for the time being.”
C) “My intravenous drip will keep me from getting dehydrated right now.”
D) “I can see how things could have been much worse if I hadn’t gotten to the hospital when I did.”
Feedback:
The client’s understanding of his contribution to his problem demonstrates a shift in attitude and feelings that is
characteristic of affective learning. Understanding the treatment, course, and prognosis of his illness are aspects of
cognitive learning.
The nurse has been working with a client for several days during the client’s recovery from a femoral head fracture. How
should a nurse best evaluate whether client education regarding the prevention of falls in the home has been effective?
A) “What changes will you make around your house to reduce the chance of future falls?”
B) “Do you have any questions about the fall prevention measures that we’ve talked about?”
C) “In light of what we’ve talked about, why is it important that you remove the throw rugs in your house?”
D) “Do you think that the safety measures I taught you are clear and realistic?”
Feedback:
An open-ended question that requires the client to apply the information that has been taught is often the most accurate
way to evaluate the effectiveness of client education. Yes/no questions are much less effective (“Do you have any
questions?”; “Do you think that the safety measures I taught you are clear and realistic?”). Asking the client about the
importance of preventing falls does not directly assess what the client will actually do to prevent falls.
