Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. Medical technology is changing rapidly and many of the patients being hospitalized are not well versed in technology. This rapid turnover coupled with difficult concepts makes education challenging.
2. Patients are much sicker while hospitalized in today's environment. When patients are sick, their focus on learning is diminished and their ability to retain teaching is lessened.
