Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should augment existing resources or create a new service rather than duplicate what is already available to the aggregate. It is assumed that if the nurse has concluded that diabetic issues are the number one priority, there is no pressing need to ask specific questions of friends with diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Most persons do not enjoy lectures, so the nurse must initiate small group involvement and participation. Those with less educational experience are more comfortable in informal learning settings. Visual only presentations, such as power point presentations and handouts are not the best approach to use with adult learners. Sharing of the nurse's expertise is an important part of the teaching process, but will not be effective if the participants are not actively involved in the learning process.
