Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Informal education is usually learner or patient directed. Formal patient education is delivered throughout the community in the form of media, in a variety of educational and group settings, or in a planned, goal-directed, one-on-one session with a patient in the acute care setting. The psychomotor domain incorporates physical movement and the use of motor skills in learning. Teaching the newly diagnosed diabetic how to check blood sugar is an example of a psychomotor skill. Affective domain learning recognizes the emotional component of integrating new knowledge. Successful education in this domain takes into account the patient's feelings, values, motivations, and attitudes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
As the health care community explores the concept of health literacy, many organizations recognize that before improvements can be made, operational definitions are imperative. The realization that consumers need to be able to understand the medical information delivered by health care providers has gained recognition at many governmental levels. The Healthy People 2020 publication describes a national movement that addresses the priorities of prevention and public health in the United States. Health literacy with its impact on this initiative is being recognized and has become a key component of the project. Although low literacy and low health literacy are related terms, they are not interchangeable. Low health literacy is content-specific, meaning that the individual may not have difficulty reading and writing outside the health care arena. Interest in effective patient education is not a phenomenon unique to the United States. The Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Health Literacy held a workshop in 2012 focused on international health literacy.
