Answer to Question 1
Ans: C, D
Feedback:
When teaching a patient with limited health literacy, use simple and clear language. People who are highly literate can have problems understanding language used in health care. The word negative is a positive finding when discussing an infection or cancer. This can be confusing to those who use negative in a different context. The nurse should avoid medical terms and instead use everyday language, for example, saying pain killer instead of analgesic when talking to patients. Other examples include wound instead of lesion or tumor instead of carcinoma.
Answer to Question 2
Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
To learn about the patient's affective behavior, the nurse should always approach the patient with respect and try to develop a therapeutic relationship with the patient. Such a relationship must be based on trust and respect. Overlooking the concern of the patient's family and avoiding the patient's queries on sensitive issues will not help the nurse to learn about the patient's affective behavior.
