A nurse on a cardiac care unit performs client education at many different points during clients' treatment.
 
  However, the nurse has recently been assigned to teach a formal, group education series for adults who have undergone recent cardiac bypass graft surgery. When preparing to provide formal teaching, the nurse should: A) Ensure that all teaching materials are no higher than a third grade reading level
  B) Divide the learners into small groups based on their culture of origin
  C) Create a learning plan that identifies specific learning outcomes and learning activities
  D) Have the learners teach one another the material rather than the nurse presenting it directly to the group

Question 2

A client has been admitted to the health care facility and a plan of nursing care has been created.
 
  The nursing care plan specifies that client education should begin as soon as possible and a nurse has begun an assessment in preparation for this education. What assessment parameter should the nurse prioritize during this assessment? A) The client's occupation
  B) The client's social support network
  C) The client's motivation
  D) The client's coping skills

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Formal teaching necessitates a learning plan. Without a plan, teaching becomes haphazard. Materials must be broadly accessible, but a third grade reading level is a standard that is too low to convey many important teaching points. It is not normally appropriate to divide groups according to culture or ethnicity. Participant-to-participant teaching can be effective but it should not wholly replace instruction from the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
All of the listed factors may be relevant to client education for some clients. However, the client's motivation to learn is paramount, since this has a significant bearing on the content and style of education.
