Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Motivation is the desire to learn and influences how quickly and to what extent an individual learns. It is generally greatest when an individual recognizes a need and believes the need will be met through learning. The client who is excited to learn about ambulation techniques understands that learning about it will help take his recovery to a high level. Motivation must be experienced by the client, not by someone else (as in being a coach for newcomers). Clients who struggle with rules or following prescribed courses of treatment are not motivated to learn the best reason for their particular plan of action; they may be bucking the system. The client who is already waiting to go home may be eager for that to occur, but not necessarily to the extent of being ready to learn how to achieve this end.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Research and technology are constantly changing and improving client care. The nurse should stay abreast of new information by attending continuing education courses. Receiving overtime pay is not a reason to attend continuing education courses. It is not new diseases that are discovered every day, but new ways of treating diseases, requiring that the nurse keep abreast of new information. Many states do require continuing education to keep nurses competent in client care, but new technology and research are the most important reasons for staying current and the reasons that continuing education is required by most states.
