Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Nurses have an ethical responsibility to teach their clients (Redman, 2005, 2007). The information needs to be accurate, complete, and relevant to the client's needs. The remaining options are fac-tors that affect learning and so require the nurse's attention but are not as primary as providing information that is accurate, current, and relevant to the client's needs.
