A The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how
much the patient learns. Patients for whom English is not their primary language
may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informal usage of words, or
medical words. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student.
B Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best.
In order for the teacher to best present information, it is best for the class to be of
the same levels.
C A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow for questions, and the
teacher is not able to see the nonverbal cues from the students to ensure
understanding.
D A patient'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 patient's cultural beliefs.
