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, not patient care. Assessing the goal of meeting patient care is the evaluation component of the nursing process.
