Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Summarizing the content of a teaching session is useful at the end of the teaching session. This helps to identify any areas that need to be re-explained or reemphasized to the client. Asking the client to repeat what was discussed may make the client ill at ease. The same can occur when asking What do you think? about information that is factual. Telling the client that the information is very important can make the client nervous and on edge. That feeling can make the client forget information that is important to remember.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Cognitive dissonance involves four concepts; (1) people like consistency, (2) dissonance is experienced as discomfort, (3) dissonance drives people to action, and (4) dissonance stimulates people to attain consistency and reduce inconsistencyCognit ive dissonance is believed to be a powerful motivator for change. The degree of dissonance experienced is directly related to the importance of the issue. To reduce these feelings of imbalance, people often change attitudes or behavior to regain that feeling of consistency (Gruber, 2003). Recognition by the organization, social diffusion of a new idea, and monetary rewards are all motivating factors to move toward change as described by Lewin's change theory.
