Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ethnocentrism is the assumption that one's culture provides the right way, and taking herbs instead of the medication exemplifies this belief. A 5-year-old Native American child coloring in a book about diabetes is an example of an age-appropriate learning process. A 14-year-old African American attending a support group to learn about disease management is an example of developmental impact on learning. A 72-year-old Hispanic person asking questions about potential adverse effects to a newly prescribed medication is demonstrating learning readiness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When teaching older adults, it is important to slow the pace of the presentation. Older adults process information more slowly because of limited short-term memory. Detailed information may be too overwhelming. The length of sessions should be limited for the older adult patient. Adults need to understand why they must learn something before they undertake the effort to learn.
