Question 1

When providing client education it is essential for the nurse to incorporate what action so that learning can be optimized?

Accepted Answer

Including educational strategies that encourage clients to be active participants is essential for optimizing learning during client education. This can include asking open-ended questions, encouraging discussion, and incorporating hands-on activities or demonstrations. Simply having clients read material or administering tests may not be as effective in promoting learning as engaging clients in the educational process. Being formally engaged (choice B) is similar to being an active participant and can also be helpful, but it is not as specific as choice C.

Question 2

The parents of an infant suffering from apnea need to be educated on the apnea monitor and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. What should the nurse assess first regarding the parents?

Accepted Answer

Before educating the parents on the use of an apnea monitor and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the nurse should assess their baseline knowledge of these concepts. This will allow the nurse to tailor the education to the parents' specific needs and ensure that they understand the instructions. The other options may also be important to assess, but they are not the priority when it comes to educating the parents on these specific topics.

Question 5

A nurse is working with an older adult client, educating the client on how to ambulate with the aid of a walker. The nurse notes that the client appears to lack the motivation to learn how to use device. The client states, "I'm just too old to learn." Which of the following would be most appropriate for the nurse to do to motivate this client?

Accepted Answer

Describing how the walker can improve the client's quality of life may motivate the client to use the device, as it highlights the benefits of using it. Simply explaining how to move the walker or how it supports the lower extremities may not address the client's lack of motivation. Fully discussing the rationale for using the walker may be helpful for some clients, but it may not be enough to motivate this particular client.

Question 6

A nurse is writing learning outcomes for a client recovering from severe burns. Which of the following verbs would be good choices to use when preparing outcomes related to learning how to change dressings? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Question 7

A nurse is educating an elderly client with diabetes and his family members about the importance of a nutritious diet. The nurse knows that client education promotes which of the following purposes? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Client education promotes the purpose of restoring optimal health in the client by helping them understand and implement behaviors to improve their health. It also promotes the purpose of helping the client cope with alterations in health status by providing them with knowledge and skills to manage their condition. Client education does not help the nurse to diagnose the client's illness early or be more aware of the client's health, but it does help the nurse be well-informed about the client's care.

Question 8

What client characteristic is important to assess when using the health belief model as the framework for teaching?

Accepted Answer

The health belief model focuses on an individual's perceptions and beliefs about their health and the effectiveness of preventative measures. Therefore, assessing a client's motivation to learn is important to determine their willingness to engage in preventative behaviors. Developmental level, source of information, and family support may also be important factors to consider, but they are not as directly related to the health belief model as motivation to learn.

Question 9

When caring for a client, the nurse gives day-to-day examples to explain certain points of the health education. The nurse also notes the client's concentration level and educates when the client is active. Which category does the client fall into?

Question 10

A nurse notices that a toddler is constantly snatching toys from the hands of other preschool children at the health care facility, placing the toddler and other children at risk for injury. Which of the following would be a most effective method for teaching the toddler not to snatch toys?

Accepted Answer

Enlisting the aid of the toddler's parents in education would be the most effective method for teaching the toddler not to snatch toys. This would involve working with the parents to understand why the toddler is snatching toys and developing strategies to redirect the toddler's behavior. This approach also involves the parents in the education process and increases the likelihood of success in modifying the toddler's behavior. The other options (A, B, and C) do not effectively address the underlying issue of the toddler's behavior and may not be sustainable solutions.

Question 11

A client 36 years of age is able to understand the health education when she is given the opportunity to put the education into practice. The nurse helps the client to self-administer the medication dosage before the client is discharged from the health care facility. Which domain correctly identifies the client's learning style?

Question 12

When the newly diagnosed, insulin-dependent diabetic client tells the nurse that he has never received instruction on the administration of injections, an appropriately stated nursing diagnosis for the client is what?

Accepted Answer

The most accurate and specific nursing diagnosis is "Deficient knowledge of injection administration as verbalized by the client, related to the lack of instruction and experience" because it directly addresses the client's stated lack of knowledge and experience with injection administration, which is a critical skill for managing insulin-dependent diabetes.

Question 13

According to Rosenstock, which of the following are health beliefs critical for client motivation? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

According to Rosenstock's Health Belief Model, in order for a client to be motivated to take actions to reduce their risk of a disease, they must perceive themselves as susceptible to the disease, view the disease as a serious threat, and believe that there are actions they can take to reduce their probability of contracting the disease. The belief that the threat of taking these actions is greater than the disease itself is not a necessary component of the Health Belief Model. The belief that the patient is a victim of the disease is not included in the Health Belief Model.

Accepted Answer

Documentation of client education is important for ensuring that clients receive proper care and understand their health conditions and treatment options. While employee satisfaction surveys and financial accounts may also be important for a healthcare facility, they are not directly related to meeting accreditation standards for client care. Documentation of indigent care may be important for certain facilities, but it is not a requirement for all accreditation standards.
