Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patient's culture influences the learning process; thus a situation that is most conducive to learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the patient's cultural beliefs. A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher cannot see nonverbal cues from the students to ensure understanding. The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how much the patient learns. Patients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informal usage of words, or medical terms. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student. Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. For the teacher to present the information in the best way, the class should be at the same level.
