Answer to Question 1

3. A client who is excited to learn about his new prosthesis

Rationale:
Motivation is the desire to learn and influences how quickly and to what extent a person learns. It is generally greatest when a person recognizes a need and believes the need will be met through learning. The client who is excited to learn about his prosthesis 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

2. The parents are Asian American.

Rationale: An Asian American child is apt to fall below the 5th percentile as Asian American children are normally smaller than other American children, and growth charts are based on American averages. If the infant is eating appropriately and is growing, there is no problem. Three-month-old infants usually do sleep the whole night. The parents' socializing two nights a week is not a problem as long as the child is cared for.
