Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A survey or questionnaires can be used to measure affective behavior change as well as patient satisfaction with the teaching experience. Observing for level of skill mastery would evaluate achievement of a psychomotor goal rather than satisfaction with the experience. Repeating information more than one time or in more than one way may be appropriate strategies to include in the teaching plan but would provide no evaluation data. Providing for a return demonstration would help in evaluating achievement of a psychomotor goal, not satisfaction with the activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Informal teaching is individualized one-on-one teaching which represents the majority of patient education done by nurses that occurs when an intervention is explained or a question is answered. Group needs are often the focus of formal patient education courses or classes. Informal teaching does not necessarily follow a specific formalized plan. It may be planned with specific content, but it is individualized responses to patient needs. Formal teaching involves the use of a curriculum/course plan with standardized content.
