Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An open-ended question that requires the client to apply the information that has been taught is often the most accurate way to evaluate the effectiveness of client education. Yes/no questions are much less effective (Do you have any questions?; Do you think that the safety measures I taught you are clear and realistic?). Asking the client about the importance of preventing falls does not directly assess what the client will actually do to prevent falls.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The client's understanding of his contribution to his problem demonstrates a shift in attitude and feelings that is characteristic of affective learning. Understanding the treatment, course, and prognosis of his illness are aspects of cognitive learning.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
