Question 2
A nursing instructor explains that for learning to truly take place, the information must be reinforced. A student demonstrates understanding by saying:
1. I must first teach patients about the history of their conditions.
2. I need to make sure the patient knows what medications will be prescribed.
3. I must return to the most important topic and teach it again last so the patient will remember it.
4. I must slowly explain the disease process to the patient.
