Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse must structure teaching for teens in a way that suits them best. For teaching to be most effective, the physical environment must be comfortable and distractions to learning must be kept at a minimum. Pictures, videos, and computer-based materials are more effective teaching tools for younger clients. Patients must have an attitude of readiness and openness for the teaching to be effective. However, if the environment is not conducive to learning, efforts for effective teaching will be minimized.
