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

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.
