Answer to Question 1

A
Simulation is a useful technique for teaching problem solving, application, and independent thinking. During individual or group discussion, the nurse presents a problem or situation pertaining to the patients' learning for patients to solve. During role-play, your patients play themselves or someone else in the situation. Analogies add to verbal instruction by providing familiar images that make complex information more real and understandable. Demonstrations are useful methods for teaching psychomotor skills.

Answer to Question 2

D
Self-management involves learning about responses to illnesses through daily life experiences and as a result of trial and error. Plans to return to active duty and going to a different health care provider do not focus on responses to the illness (chronic back pain). Just focusing on taking pain medication does not focus on the goal of self-management skills.
