Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The nurse who stops a demonstration of applying anti-embolitic stockings to answer a client's question is following the teaching principle of timing. If the client has a question, it is important to answer the question immediately, so the client may return his or her focus to the task being taught. Setting priorities is important to conserve the time and energy of the client and nurse. The nurse who stops to answer a question is not setting priorities. A client learns best on the basis of preexisting cognitive abilities and knowledge. This situation is not an example of building on ex-isting knowledge. Organizing teaching materials means the nurse considers the order of infor-mation to present. This is not an example of organizing teaching materials.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
A guided response is the performance of an act under the guidance of an instructor. The client who is seeking help is demonstrating a guided response. Adaptation occurs when a person is able to change a motor response when unexpected problems arise. The client is not exhibiting adapta-tion. Perception is being aware of objects or qualities through the use of sense organs. This situa-tion is not an example of perception. Organizing is developing a value system by identifying and organizing values and resolving conflicts. This situation is not an example of organizing.
