The nurse teaches a client about the medications he is receiving. After the instruction, the client tells his wife that he didn't understand a word the nurse said. The instruction was in-effective because the nurse did not
 
  1. assess the client's interest.
  2. medicate the client before instruction.
  3. teach at the client's level of understanding.
  4. consult the PDR before giving instructions.

Question 2

The nurse is asked by the spouse of a patient seeking crisis intervention to give an example of an adventitious crisis. The nurse should mention:
 
  a. the death of a child from sudden infant death syndrome.
  b. being fired from one's job because of company downsizing.
  c. the retirement of a 64-year-old man after 30 years' service.
  d. a riot at a rock concert that results in multiple casualties.

Answer to Question 1

3
Information must be presented at the client's level of understanding in order to be under-stood.

Answer to Question 2

D
The rock concert riot is unplanned, violent, traumatizing, and not a part of everyday life. The death of a child and being fired are examples of situational crises. Retirement is an example of a maturational crisis.
