Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because health literacy influences how you deliver teaching strategies, it is critical for you to assess a patient's health literacy before providing instruction. The nursing process requires assessment of all sources of data to determine a patient's total health care needs. Evaluation of the teaching process involves determining outcomes of the teaching/learning process and the achievement of learning objectives; assessing the goals of patient care is the evaluation component of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Outcomes often describe a behavior that identifies the patient's ability to do something on completion of teaching such as will empty a colostomy bag or will administer an injection. Understand, learn, and know are not behaviors that can be observed or evaluated.
