Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Demonstration of a change of behavior is the real proof learning has occurred. The child consistently wrapping the lower extremity as instructed is evidence that learning has been successful. An eagerness to learn does not demonstrate that teaching about the gauze wrap has been successful. Returning an adequate demonstration on wrapping the limb does not mean that the child will consistently perform this action every time. Explaining the importance of wrapping the lower extremity with gauze does not indicate that teaching has been successful.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Being told different ways to perform a new skill is confusing. The nurse should select the technique and perform it consistently each time. The child is not going to learn the technique if listening to the radio during teaching. The child is not aware of the technique and will not know how to perform the exercises. After a child has learned the one method, alternative methods can be suggested if the child is interested.
