Answer to Question 1

D
Encoding is defined as the use of language or other signs and symbols for sending messages. A stimulus produced by a sender and responded to by a receiver is a message. The person who intercepts the sender's message is the receiver. A person who generates a message is a sender.

Answer to Question 2

D
Effective documentation should include the patient/family learning needs, readiness to learn, learning style, current knowledge base, learning objectives and goals, information and skills taught, teaching methods used, patient/family response, and evaluation of what the patient/family learned. The location of the teaching is not necessary to document.
