Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Assessment of health literacy occurs with each patient encounter. On completion of assessment, a nursing diagnosis relevant to the educational needs of the patient or caregiver can be determined. After working with the patient or caregiver to determine the appropriate nursing diagnosis, the next step is developing the patient education plan. In all patient education situations, a return demonstration by the patient (i.e., repeating what has been taught) helps the nurse to assess the level of learning that has taken place. Although evidence-based practice is important, it is sometimes insufficient when making patient care decisions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
As health care educators, nurses should allow patients to identify what is most important to them. If a newly diagnosed diabetic patient is interested in learning techniques of care that will allow discharge to home rather than to an extended care facility, the patient is more likely to be receptive to learning about self-monitoring blood sugar levels. After the learning goals related to the issues that the patient feels are a priority have been met, the patient may then be able to focus on health promotion and avoiding complications.
