Answer to Question 1

3. Audiovisuals, examples, group discussions, and activities

Rationale:
When teaching a group, utilize strategies to address visual, auditory, manipulative, group, and problem-solving types of learners. Using different techniques and a variety of activities is a good way to match the various learning styles of group participants. Multicolored posters would only address those learners who learn in the visual mode. Lecture may not meet the needs of the entire group. Games are a useful teaching tool, but not useful when addressing a large group of individuals with varying learning styles.

Answer to Question 2

1. Conserve the child's energy use

Rationale:
The child with a heart defect will have activity intolerance. The parents are taught to provide the child with plenty of rest and non-strenuous activities to promote growth. A rocking horse may be too strenuous as is swimming and playing on the swings. The key for this child is conservation of resources and energy.
