Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

A client'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 client'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 client learns. Clients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informed 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.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C

The response, What concerns you most about a cesarean birth focuses on what the client is saying and asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response, Everything will be ok is belittling the client's feelings. The response, Don't worry about it. It will be over soon will indicate that the client's feelings are not important. The response, The physician will be in later and you can talk to him does not allow the client to verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.
