Answer to Question 1

D
Client teaching is required of nurses in most states' nursing practice acts and is also mandated by accrediting organizations such as The Joint Commission.

Answer to Question 2

A
Maturation is a developmental process; the nurse must assess the client's developmental stage to ensure that the planned teaching-learning activities are appropriate. The client's developmental stage, including cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and attention span, determines what teaching methods and vocabulary the nurse should use and what content the nurse should present.
