Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: State nurse practice acts and regulating bodies such as the Joint Commission consider teaching to be a primary role for nurses, giving it the weight of law and key important accreditation standards. Assessment, planning, and evaluation are important, but not the most significant roles of the nurse according to state nurse practice acts and Joint Commission.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Educational pamphlets are ineffective if the reading level is above what the patient can understand. Assessing the patient's readiness to learn, cultural bias, and religious attitudes are important, but not as important as the patient's reading level.
