Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The information about who was taught, what was taught, the education method, and the evidence of learning is the best proof of compliance with education standards. These are entered in the client's medical record. The client's response to the health education cannot be determined by this document. Self-administration of medications and dietary instructions for the client are not implied from who was taught, what was taught, the education method, and the evidence of learning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Four skills have proved effective in motivational interviewing. These include: (answer A) reflective listening (restates the client's response back to him or her), (answer B) asking open questions (encourages discussion of the reason for making desired changes), (answer C) affirming (supports the client's efforts and encourages further exploration), and (answer D) summarizing (links and reinforces material that has been discussed).
