The nurse is preparing the discharge teaching materials on newly prescribed drugs to a client di-agnosed to be in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease. The nurse best deals with the client's cognitive deficits by:
 
  1. Providing written material to supplement the discussion
  2. Arranging for family to be present during the discussion
  3. Presenting the material in two short but focused sessions
  4. Requiring the client to restate the information in her own words

Question 2

While teaching the client about management of his heart disease, a nurse might use a strategy that is implemented to promote learning in the affective domain such as:
 
  1. Asking the client what he believes he needs to know about the diagnosis
  2. Providing brochures both on current exercises and on nutrition guidelines
  3. Encouraging the client to personally discuss his feelings about his health status
  4. Having the client return-demonstrate self-measurement of his own blood pressure

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The client's family needs to understand and accept many changes in the patient's physical and/or cognitive capabilities. The family's ability to provide support results in part from education, which begins as soon as the nurse identifies the client's needs and the family displays a willing-ness to help. The remaining options may support retention of material but not as effectively as including family in the educational sharing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
An intervention to promote learning in the affective domain would be encouraging the client to discuss his feelings about his health status. Asking the client what he believes he needs to know about the diagnosis would be an intervention to promote learning in the cognitive domain. Providing brochures on current exercises and nutrition guidelines would be an intervention to promote learning in the cognitive domain. Having the client return-demonstrate self-measurement of his blood pressure would be an intervention to promote learning in the psychomotor domain.
