Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Teaching that is active and which provides sensory involvement like handling things, hearing things, eating something, and so forth allows more effective learning to take place. The more senses involved, the better the chance that the patient will remember.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A note about how and when the nurse gave the drug should be made on the patient's chart as soon as possible after the drug is administered. There is a greater chance of error if meds are not charted as soon as they are given.
