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 quiet is appropriate,a darkened room interferes with the patient's ability to watch your actions,especially when you are 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 fewer is more effective than in larger groups and avoids outburst behaviors.
