Answer to Question 1

D
Visual learners prefer to obtain information through the senses by seeing it as a visual image; they relate best to information they have seen in texts or in their own notes or diagrams. For example, a visual learner who listens to a classroom lecture is likely to take notes about the subject to better master the material.

Answer to Question 2

A
The teach back technique is an ongoing process of asking patients for feedback, through explanation or demonstration, and presenting information in a new way until you feel confident that you communicated clearly and patients have a full understanding of the information presented. Using teach back can also help you identify explanations and communication strategies that patients most commonly understand. When using the teach back technique, do not ask the patient, Do you understand? or Do you have any questions? Instead you should ask open-ended questions to verify the patient's understanding.
