Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Safety strips in the shower can prevent falls. The client who installs the strips has understood the nurse's teaching. Changing the locks may promote safety if there have been frequent break-ins, but there is no evidence of that. Scatter rugs in any area of the home are a safety hazard. The nurse encourages the client to place perishable foods in the refrigerator when arriving home from the store.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The parts of the teaching process that should be documented in the client's chart include the need for additional teaching. Documenting the client's language is not necessary as it should already be in the nursing history. Supplies required for teaching are not documented. The client's questions are not documented, but the client's understanding at the end of the session is documented.
