Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ideal environment for learning is a room that is well lit and has good ventilation, appropriate furniture, and a comfortable temperature. Although a quiet room is appropriate, a darkened room interferes with the patient's ability to watch your actions, especially when demonstrating a skill or using visual aids such as posters or pamphlets. A room that is cold, hot, or stuffy makes the patient too uncomfortable to focus on the information being presented. Learning in a group of six or less is more effective and avoids distracting behaviors.
