Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Additional teaching will be required when changes in the patient's condition warrant further adjustment in therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
To avoid creating more stress for the patient, teaching needs to be given in a systematic manner. It needs to be provided in a timely, unhurried, and quiet setting, allowing the patient to ask questions.
