The nurse teaches a client about the medications he is receiving. After the instruction, the client tells his wife that he didn't understand a word the nurse said. The instruction was in-effective because the nurse did not

2. medicate the client before instruction.
3. teach at the client's level of understanding.
4. consult the PDR before giving instructions.

Answer to Question 1

3
Information must be presented at the client's level of understanding in order to be under-stood.

Answer to Question 2

D
The rock concert riot is unplanned, violent, traumatizing, and not a part of everyday life. The death of a child and being fired are examples of situational crises. Retirement is an example of a maturational crisis.
